Garage that I bought it from, the owner was over 6 ft and 17 stone and he got in and out OK (and he was recovering from a broken foot too).
Rear seats are a joke for any one over 4 ft though but good for storage..

I've sat in the back of one, funnily enough. Was a no go. Even worse than when I tried to sit in the rear of a Ford Puma!!!

Nothing major today - gave the car its first wash under my ownership and plenty of scratches and minor imperfections to deal with over time but scrubbed up OK.
Went over with a clay bar then followed with a polish (some cheap stuff I have in the garage as I have run out of the good stuff) and looking better.
Think next time I will go over it with the DA and get rid of the swirls in the paint.
Oh - and took all the plastic out of the engine bay and gave it a good scrub - looks miles better













Cheers
