Are C-4's made for average to small people?
I am 5'9" 162lbs with size 9 shoes. I try very hard, to squeeze in ever so carefully, so as not to damage seat bolsters etc. When getting out today, I was pulling my right foot out and nicked the corner of the lower speaker grill, and tore a small piece of carpet off :mad . Do you guys have the same problems?

In my opinion the answer to your ? is yes. I am 5'8" and 140 and even at my size the car is snug and almost fits like a glove. :D With TEH, I say, TEH seat the way I like it my head is about an inch and a half from the roof. I can't imagine being over 6' and driving it daily.

I'm 5'8" / 186lbs and I think the C4 is easy to get in and outta. No it was not designed for fatazz'd golf players like the C5 was. :jester

I'm close to 6' tall and entry/exit is second nature now.
I put in the right foot, slide in without toughing the bolsters; once in the seat I turn the left foot so as to not touch either the door or the sill carpet. BTW, I keep the wheel full down and extended with the seat nearly full back.
Though my head nearly touches the bow I like the tight feel of the C4 cockpit, no pun intended. :bb

5'7, 168lbs, shoe size 11, and the car fits me great. I have to take my wallet out though, otherwise it can get a bit uncomfortable on rides longer than about 20 minutes.

I am 6' and 215lbs with size 13 feet. The gas and brake pedals can get tricky, but with my sport seats at full back, my knees still rub on the underpanel covering of the steering column. But it is a perfected skill now.

I'm 6'3" and 235 lbs, size 12 shoes. Never had a problem. Maybe its because I work out & stay in shape, I dunno. With full seat adjustment, my head is about an inch below the targa top. I fit snug - but not too snug - and perfectly comfortable :seeya

I'm 5'9" 155lbs and it's a pain to get in and out of, I agree.
But it's worth every bit of it once you in there.:D
But I can't imagine being any bigger than I am getting in and out of the C4s. :confused:

I'm 5'6" 120lbs and obviously have never had a problem! :D I love the C4s because you step down into them - the way a sports car should be!
Of course, "certain" passengers whine all the time about how hard it is to get in an out... :rolleyes:
