Door length is part of it, front to rear, just really tight, and , getting around the joystick.

I don't have any of these problems getting in and out of cars, well except maybe a corvette, too low to the ground, but the door on a corvette is plenty long enough to get my legs in, as it is on almost any 2 door coupe.

Interested in seeing how you get in and out of a SS7, let us know how it goes. How old are you? Age might be a factor also.
