Many of us have some of the physical struggles Vic comically demonstrates in this video. Guess this is a great example of why SUVs are so popular among older people.
I'm 6'2" and old. I have to do a controlled fall into my Mercedes convertible which is low to the ground. Getting out, I have to use my left hand to push on the bottom of the door frame. I'm just happy I can do it.LolI'm 6'2 and even being young I hate most sedans/coupes "cars", you're way too low to the ground to start with and then usually I have to sit with the seat pushed all the way back which sets you behind the b-pillar so when you go to get out you're not only too low to the ground you're awkwardly twisting yourself around the b-pillar.
Glad your body is strong at 62. I am not overweight, and reasonably fit. Yet I struggle just bending over to wash my face in the morning- lots of pain. Guess you have much better aging genes then most people your age.I am 6'1" and 62 years old and in reasonably good health about 190 lbs and have no issues getting out of my 991.1 and 2021 Cayman S. But if your 50-100lbs and have some health issues I could see how that is a problem. Some people don't realize everything is a compromise and expect too much
