Getting in and out of the GTR
Discussion
No I don't stand on the seat.
If you are tall then the seat will be right back. If short then slide the seat back before you exit.
For the driver in the US.
Stand with your back to the door opening and place your left hand on the fuel filler area and reach in with your right hand to grab the roll bar across the top of the screen. Hook your right heel on the chassis square section in front of the seat. Take your weight on that foot and your left hand. Swing your left leg in and keep it straight as you slide down in bending your right leg.
Getting out is the reverse except that you need to be pretty supple to reach back to the filler when sitting down so hook the right heel and push up with your left hand on the sill until you can lock yourself against the seat half way out. From here you can move your hand to the filler.
Now print out these instructions and have someone read them out as you practice.

I tried that in your car Steve remember? And ended up in a heap on the floor, for those with the steering wheel on the wrong side (left) get out the passengers side it’s easier
Well, you wanted to be different, now you must pay the price (a triple hernia and a dislocated shoulder will do as a down payment!).
If you are a big fella then standing on the seat will be the easiest way to get into the car but be sure to put something onto the squab and shuffle it from under you once in. I get in as Steve suggests but it is a bit tricky and I am fortunate in that I have a little more space between my seats to put my foot.

I use the same method as Steve only I place my left hand on the rear left outer corner of the luggage pod. I'm 5'9" with short legs so it's a bit easier for me this way. I hardly ever remove the steering wheel but doing so gives you a little more room to work with. I do move the seat full back before getting out. No need to step on the seat. After a couple of tries it's very natural. Now getting in and out of the passenger(right)side seems a little more difficult so I suggest you never let anyone else drive!

I would be surprised if at that size any one could fit in the car, let alone the seats!
I am 5'9" and my pal is 6'1" and both around 200lbs each and when we were spotted in the car together last week it was remarked that it looked as if the car had been built around us
