2003 hard to get in and out of?

[nvsteve]

I'm shopping for a 03 to 05. None nearby.(Carson City Nv). Need to try one for size to determine the difficulty of entry/exit with top raised. I'm 78 years old and not very flexible anymore. 5 foot 9" . Just checking to see if there might be an owner nearby who might allow me to try one on? Opinions also welcome.

Hi Steve - If you want to come down to the Bay Area (halfway between Sacramento and San Francisco) you're welcome to try mine out. I can tell you my husband is 5'11" and 69 years old and he has difficulty somewhat. I'm 5'2" so I don't have a problem.

You need to be able to curve your back, and bend your head under the top

I'm 5'9" and have to dip a little to get in with the top up.

nvsteve... I'm 77 and have a 2003 with the hard top on (I like the look, and taking it off for a few weeks of top-down weather isn't worth it). No problem getting in or out, mainly due to the steering wheel fully retracts when the key isn't in the ignition. My knees are shot, and I have MG, so I doubt you'll have a problem. Oh, I live in PA, so I'm definitely not nearby.

Same here. With the top on I enter head first.

I'm 85, 5"10 and have a 2004. My best entry goes back to my Austin Healey days. I back in with my butt, them pull in my head and feet. Best to avoid bulky shoes. Better yet, always have the top down!

61 so still a little flexible 6"2 , I back in and lower my head once inside is comfortable.
