Jay makes it look far, far easier than it is. Frankly, I'm shocked how fluidly he pours into his Elise. When I got my Exige 6 years ago, I was 56, and even though I'm thin and pretty limber, it was beyond awkward. Mine is worse, as it has a roll cage, which restricts the height of the door opening a bit. But worse, the roll cage tube running down to the door sill in front of the instrument panel narrows the width of the door opening by about 4", (100mm). For the first 6 months I had it, I crawled out of it, face first, onto the pavement. It looked like the car was puking me out onto the pavement. But now, it's pretty easy, as I've apparently become more limber. On the upside, between the gymnastic egress, the manual tranny, the abrupt on-off clutch engagement, the immobilizer, and the fact that the start button is obscured by the roll cage, the whole car is an essentially anti-theft device.
Your "the whole car is an essentially anti-theft device" made me giggle! Decades ago I once had a car so bad that, when I came out of my house in the morning to find it stolen, I just shrugged my shoulders and walked to the bottom of the hill. Sure enough, there it was. They'd obviously tried to bump start it down the hill and then given up. I couldn't get it going and I had the key! 😄
@@anonymity6504 I've had some crappy cars as well, but fortunately not that bad. But my brother did in high school. An MG Midget with no reverse, and brakes only on the left front wheel. And the battery was non-functional.(He was going to "fix it up"). He was soon disabused of that idea. Since it barely ran, one day we decided to start it by rolling it down our steep street and dumping the clutch, so I took my car to the cul-de-sac at the bottom of the hill in case we had to jump it off. I heard him coming down the hill with the engine loudly popping and farting, (much of the exhaust was rusted away). He was coming in way too fast, and above the roar of the engine, and the skidding left front wheel, I could hear him screaming MOVE, MOVE MOTHER*****R!! right before he slammed into the back of my car. Too late. Being a Plymouth Fury, and built like a tank, the Midget lost, pretty badly. He got an accordioned fender, and I got a small scratch on the aluminum tail light bezel. I really shouldn't have laughed the way I did, and felt pretty bad about it afterward. The Midget went away shortly after that.
3 years ago i nearly bought an Elise SC 220. I loved it when i looked at it at the Dealer. I even asked the 20 something Sales man to show me how to get into and out of the car with the hardtop on . He duly showed how to do this. I followed his advice and got in without too much pain or loss of dignity. HOWEVER it took 10 minutes for me to drag my sorry 60 year old carcass from the confines of the car. I told the Salesman that i could not buy the car much as i loved that car. A couple of weeks ago i revisited the same dealer to look at an EVORA. Now i opened the door and sat in the car . I then was able to get out of the car without incurring a Spinal Injury and or Hip Dis Articulation. I liked the car a lot, but the price is so much more than an Elise. So i then had a go at an Elise with the Soft Top removed. Hey i managed getting in and Out with only mild discomfort. So i can get in and out of an Elise. But only on Warm Sunny Days and with out the roof on while entering and exiting the car. Now i have been watching all the Emira videos that i can . It is looking absolutely Gorgeous and has a bigger door than the Evora so will be even easier !!!! to get in and out of the car. I have even been onto to the Lotus Emira and specced my dream car , more than once i hasten to add. Now pricing seems to bear ABSOLUTELY NO Resemblance to the ORIGINAL : Less than 60k that Lotus spoke about in the announcement. So the dilemma persists for this 64 year old looking to a buy a Lotus . The Esprit is also a contender, but restoration and maintenance of an older car worries me somewhat. So when my Local Dealer gets in an Emira i will go and have a gander. But an Evora is still of interest. But the Elise is what i really want but for the damned entry and exit problems i have described.
@jayemm - and to think this was a celebration of hitting 10k subscribers! How far you’ve come never mind the impressive garage fleet! All the very best James, Kevin.
I just test drove a Elise SC. Awesome car. Owner was way over 6 feet tall and his head stuck above the windshield header. Too funny. I had awkward entry and exit, not as good as you. I own a Nissan 370Z and get in/out just fine. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for this video. This can be done quite easily when the door can be fully open. In a garage or elsewhere when the door can be opened only halfway... now there's a challenge. I'd love to see a video on that.
Love the content. It's funny that earlier this evening I was doing my usual - 'sell the idea of a Lotus to the wife sessions' by showing her a couple of your vids when she mentioned "he never shows himself getting in or out of the cars". Low and behold, a couple of hours later.............. 😊
Wonderful! I'm tall and heavy. On the bright side, my wallet is extremely thin, so I'll never have to suffer the indignity of Elise rejection syndrome. Cheers.
Also important to exhale as you enter, empty lungs makes the process easier. Care should be taken when exiting with a passenger, the tensing of the core and squeezing of the stomach muscles in exit can result in a temporary pressure that can vent as a fart into your passengers facial region- this is very hard to restore decorum and rarely does appointing blame to the car help in resolving any unintentional offence.
Even though "little red sports car" is a bit of a cliche, red is a good color for these cars. I'm still in the "lusting after and saving up" part of my life to get one of these cars. However, having to pay for a house and also have some fun with a race car, I'm pretty sure the bank is going to have to buy me one of these and I'll just have to be in debt forever. Totally worth it.
I once got in and out of an Elise, and I can confirm, getting out is by far the hardest part especially if you're 1m83 and carrying a camera around you neck
congrats for the 10K subscribers james, even her in the philippines getting in and out is a commonly ask questionfora 5'10 guy like me people are really amaze how i do it, i jjust simply say "ypou gotta do a lot of practice for this" haha
LOL. I ended up crawling out of an Elise the first time I tried. I'm only 1.80m & 87kg, but it was at Hethel, with roof on due to rain, & helmet on for the circuit. Not elegant, but like you said, it was fine when inside.
It is a very useful video. I am about to buy Elise S3 soon many people saying do not have hard to live with it etc. No it is not. I went to the official dealer last week I got in to car very easily and also got out either. Because I am only 157 mt. tall and 65 Kg weight. Inside the car even large for me. But as I see it is not a big deal for a big guys like you either. Wishing you healthy days from Turkey.
Hilarious video James!! I'm not big as such but have a stupidly long back so don't know if this could ever be a car for me. Very glad I watched this though :'D
By the time I get my hands on an elise, I'll need this guide for sure.. Thankyou for making this video, was genuinely funny and also practical at the same time. Thankyou! :)
The first time I tried getting in and out of an Elise I looked like a complete idiot. Getting out I had to get on my hands and knees and crawl out of it, like I just couldn't figure out how to get out of it. Imagine someone pulling up to a gas pump and crawling on their hands and knees to get to the pump. Lmao, that was me
Just in case you're getting to the point where you think 'why do I make these movies, who will properly benefit from this?' the following: this morning I showed this video to my wife before we went to the Lotus dealership for a testdrive! And yes, we bought the damn thing (as per my wife's nickname for the car) ;-)
I stay on the thin side by not being able to take my Elise through the drive-thru at Taco Bell. The order window is too high. Gravity is our friend when getting in; nothing helps when getting out.
Can’t say I’ve ever even seen one up close but is the “drop the butt down and swing legs in” technique a non starter for the Lotus?? That tends to be the best way in most cases
Never been in one. How similar is it to its cousin the Opel Speedster? My co-worker had one of those. It reminded me of a ridiculously stripped down MX-5 with zero creature comforts.
very hilarious video. inelegant is an understatement, lol that's the most ridiculous boarding demonstration into a car i've ever seen. but once you're in it everything looks sexy as it should.
Many years ago I manages to get into a Vx220 (iirc the name), and given I have 4 goosed lower disks I just couldn't get out. I did own a celica (2litre not the gt4 😕) in the 90s, loved the car, but as my back worsened, some days I couldn't lift my left leg over the sill to exit some days. So my sports car days are behind me. I now prefer a hot hatch,not that I have one. Currently an GTC 165 (auto), next up is a vrs estate (need the space). However One day I may get an MX5, I may manage one of those. Pick up my back issue in 98 serving in the RM. I've fallen along way, and put a bit of timber on too. Giant exercise with goosed disks. 😕
YESS !! Thank you !! Now I know I can buy it someday ! ^^ (I was happily surprised you talked about 150 kg, then used feet for the height, but thank god, you used meters right after :) )
+John Medhurst It would be a tight fit, definitely need to try one. You can gain a little bit of space by removing the runners from the drivers seat. Your height will be the biggest issue
You didn't mention making sure the key is out of your pocket before getting in the car. You sure as hell won't be able to get at it once you are inside
Big problem is - T junctions at an angle and traffic lights you can't see,with a racing harness. If you drive an Elise you will know! I am 6 feet and skinny no problem.
curently on the "lotus diet" as im 6ft 3 and too heavy... lol busying an exige s3 as soon as my current car sells, already test drove one and its not the best for leg room but ive seen a few mods you can do to make a bit more space, but the want for one is too much, i suppose its like buying those trainers thats a bit too small but you like them too much? ha
I am about 6 foot and 3 inch tall. But my torso is somewhat shorter than normal, that said longer legs. And I have 46 size shoes. Shall I just forget the Elise?
donphobos the shoe size is probably the biggest issue, if you are flexible you can definitely fit in and with the seat backward I think you will be fine. I am 6'1 and I leave a couple of clicks before I am all the way back on the seat. Great reason to buy an Elise is that it will ensure you stay fit and flexible as you will need to put the leg first, bent all the way to get the head through and then pull the other leg in.
I'm guessing you found the answer 3 years ago when you picked yours up ;) but the 111S is a K-series engined car with around 160bhp and the 111R is a Toyota engined car with around 190bhp
I was 6ft '4 but when you get older you do shrink I l could be 6ft '3 if I'm lucky , I like Lotus Elise might get Evora or defender or ford mustang fastback or skoda kodiaq if I can't fit in any Lotus or Caterhams.
@@JayEmmOnCars Many thanks , Im off to look at one , but Ive never even sat in one , and at 6ft and 16 stones and broad shouldered it would be very embarrassing if I didnt fit in it , I know youve driven one and having a powerfully developed lower chest your opinion is much valued.
"pretend you are the last bit of toothpaste in the tube"
You can tell this man aced his English a levels
Genuinely brilliant. Your videos are constantly improving in quality and I am loving all of the Lotus content. Top marks good sir
+Tom Whitham Thanks Tom!
Jay makes it look far, far easier than it is. Frankly, I'm shocked how fluidly he pours into his Elise.

10k subs 5 years ago.... Well done! Thanks for bringing good quality content to us 👍🏼
Thanks for watching it :)
Getting in and out of mine usually involves a lot of swearing. Generally tend leave dignity and grace at home for the day!
😂😂😂
Dignity is overrated, especially in the context of something as fun as driving a Lotus.
@jayemm - and to think this was a celebration of hitting 10k subscribers! How far you’ve come never mind the impressive garage fleet! All the very best James, Kevin.
3:19 "It can actually be a bit awkward if you have a very large... "
O_o
"...wallet! "
Oh, of course.
+YensR Well, when a lady tells you men who drive big cars are compensating for something, take pride in telling her you drive an Elise ;)
Wow and I though it was a pain getting in and out of my lowered MX5, this is in a whole different league.
I just test drove a Elise SC. Awesome car. Owner was way over 6 feet tall and his head stuck above the windshield header. Too funny. I had awkward entry and exit, not as good as you. I own a Nissan 370Z and get in/out just fine. Keep up the good work.
Funny video, should do a part 2, including getting out with a passenger and in a car park with cars either side 😂
Thanks for this video. This can be done quite easily when the door can be fully open. In a garage or elsewhere when the door can be opened only halfway... now there's a challenge. I'd love to see a video on that.
That moment when TH-cam recommends the video I was too embarrassed to search for! Lol

I rode in an Elise a few months back and i fit in it fine :) Im 6ft 2 1/2 too!
congrats on the 10k! from one of your early subscriber
The slow motion was an instant like for me
Thanks for the tip. It should be helpful next time I try the same maneuver.
Full marks- great video.
Slow mo replay i's priceless.
I'm an early subscriber and really pleased you've hit 10k - should be 20k by Christmas 😜
+Jonathan Dobbs Thanks foe the vote of confidence!
Funny video. I find it hard enough getting in and out of the Evora!

I had to crawl out of one the first time aswell not very elegant when you're delivering the car to the customer...

That was a lot more graceful than I expected. Well done
Thanks! It took some practise
Tricky, but McLarens are even trickier if you're a carbon fibre tub.
Hilarious! I'm coming from a Boxster and 911 and hope to add a Lotus to the stable one day. Your videos are fantastic. Thank you!
congrats on the 10k...
10k subs... well done chap. Growing fast.
Hopefully not literally lol
yeah.. if he keeps growing he won't get in an elise.. haha

And yes, we bought the damn thing (as per my wife's nickname for the car) ;-)
+Harald. 111 Amazing! Please tell the dealership this video helped, it makes a big difference
JayEmm on Cars believe it or not, but apparently you have already built up a reputation at the Lotus importer in the Netherlands :-D
+Harald. 111 That's great to know! Is that Van Der Kooi or Verheist?
JayEmm on Cars van der Kooi. Verheist is in Belgium :-)
+Harald. 111 cool. Those guys do a lot for Lotus too!
If only you had been about 7 years ago, after a great test drive I crawled out and bought a Mini Cooper S instead :(
I stay on the thin side by not being able to take my Elise through the drive-thru at Taco Bell. The order window is too high. Gravity is our friend when getting in; nothing helps when getting out.
This is hilarious, very entertaining, thanks.
James - can you include an entry and exit and slo-mo to your sports car reviews?
Can’t say I’ve ever even seen one up close but is the “drop the butt down and swing legs in” technique a non starter for the Lotus?? That tends to be the best way in most cases
You're friends with "The Mountain"?! 6'7" is crazy tall. I want to see a video of this tall fellow try and get into said car. Just for giggles. :)
Never been in one. How similar is it to its cousin the Opel Speedster? My co-worker had one of those. It reminded me of a ridiculously stripped down MX-5 with zero creature comforts.
Love the channel you guys are awesome
This is sooo funny! I’ve just got my S2 Elise, and I think it’ll be a while before I can do it quite as well as you Dude ha ha. Very cool
This is pretty much the same for myself and any bloody ducati !!...... love the videos and subbed....
very hilarious video. inelegant is an understatement, lol that's the most ridiculous boarding demonstration into a car i've ever seen. but once you're in it everything looks sexy as it should.
lmaoo that slow motion replay
At 15,000 subscribers how about a Caterham 7 with the roof fitted ?
The Elise is far too easy
Haha I tried doing that when I had the 310S for review. Not. easy. at. all.
well the slow motion might help or maybe x2 speed...
love to you do that in a vx220
Summary:
Step 1. Open the door
Step 2. Hope for the best
LOL! I rented one of these once and had to watch a video on YT just to figure out a somewhat graceful way to get in and out of the thing.
I decided to lose 4st instead, easier to get in/out & the car accelerates better, improved MPG,etc
Own the S1 model for 12 years now, and 9/10 times I either hit my head or palms end up own the floor crawling out.
I wanna see the mr2 fixing up pleeeeaaase
+Itsibs We keep trying to film it but we keep having things get in the way and we want to do a proper video not a rushed job.
Very useful training. Thank’s a load !
Many years ago I manages to get into a Vx220 (iirc the name), and given I have 4 goosed lower disks I just couldn't get out.
I did own a celica (2litre not the gt4 😕) in the 90s, loved the car, but as my back worsened, some days I couldn't lift my left leg over the sill to exit some days.
So my sports car days are behind me. I now prefer a hot hatch,not that I have one. Currently an GTC 165 (auto), next up is a vrs estate (need the space). However One day I may get an MX5, I may manage one of those.
Pick up my back issue in 98 serving in the RM. I've fallen along way, and put a bit of timber on too. Giant exercise with goosed disks. 😕
I have a belly like yours and have to do the same manoeuvre with a Ford fieasta
YESS !! Thank you !! Now I know I can buy it someday ! ^^ (I was happily surprised you talked about 150 kg, then used feet for the height, but thank god, you used meters right after :) )
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I'm 6'4" and on the larger side, do you think I'd be able to fit in? I've kinda got the Elise on my list...
+John Medhurst It would be a tight fit, definitely need to try one. You can gain a little bit of space by removing the runners from the drivers seat. Your height will be the biggest issue
congrats on 10k!
+G Garrison Thanks!
You didn't mention making sure the key is out of your pocket before getting in the car. You sure as hell won't be able to get at it once you are inside
+1
omg that is exactly how i get into my SLK 😂 try getting in the passenger side every once in a while just for “the joy of awkward” buzz..
Very nice!!! Good job!
Big problem is - T junctions at an angle and traffic lights you can't see,with a racing harness.
If you drive an Elise you will know!
I am 6 feet and skinny no problem.
How tall and heavy are you jayemm
This video is fucking glorious! I might have to do a tribute if we have another lockdown haha
curently on the "lotus diet" as im 6ft 3 and too heavy... lol busying an exige s3 as soon as my current car sells, already test drove one and its not the best for leg room but ive seen a few mods you can do to make a bit more space, but the want for one is too much, i suppose its like buying those trainers thats a bit too small but you like them too much? ha
Haha. Now do it in a series 1 ! Its the only one I can afford (2nd hand).
I am about 6 foot and 3 inch tall. But my torso is somewhat shorter than normal, that said longer legs. And I have 46 size shoes. Shall I just forget the Elise?
+donphobos maybe. You will need driving shoes and you might need to fix the seat in place. The steering wheel is fixed but it is also tiny
donphobos the shoe size is probably the biggest issue, if you are flexible you can definitely fit in and with the seat backward I think you will be fine. I am 6'1 and I leave a couple of clicks before I am all the way back on the seat.

Also works great for a MX5.
Classic video - so true
Best car for a museum visit!
He almost braced himself against the A pillar at the end lol.
Great video!!
I daily a E85 Z4 which I decided to drop 35mm, and as a 6'3" man, the technique is the same! Lol
Great video! Looking forward to more, Picking my 2006 Elise up this weekend can't wait . Any idea what S or R stands for?
I'm guessing you found the answer 3 years ago when you picked yours up ;) but the 111S is a K-series engined car with around 160bhp and the 111R is a Toyota engined car with around 190bhp
Yes & still loving it! Hopefully the weather improves soon so I can do some miles.
Great video
I was 6ft '4 but when you get older you do shrink I l could be 6ft '3 if I'm lucky , I like Lotus Elise might get Evora or defender or ford mustang fastback or skoda kodiaq if I can't fit in any Lotus or Caterhams.
great video!
Remember to take the car key out of your pocket before getting in the car
Hey, great videos! When is the follow up for the MR2 coming?
+Akuma Gaming as soon as we possibly can, probably in two weeks time
JayEmm on Cars can't wait, thanks for the reply!
Why don’t you switch open the top? The car is a cabriolet right?
nifty :) my gf insisted i follow chapmans example and "add lightness". i lost 20kg, her 15kg and i have to say the elise does feel more responsive.
Let's up the ante, can you show us how to do it on a S1 please. I'll let you use mine.
Bring it over and I'll give it a go :)
I remember warning my female friends before picking them up that they may want to wear trousers....
Thank you!!!
I'm 250lbs and I apply the toothpaste tube method when getting out of IS. Damn I need to diet! :P
About how tall are you and your weight? Or if you don’t want to disclose how about someone that’s 5’10” 225lbs 36w 32 inseam.
is the z4 coupe anything like as tricky ??
No
@@JayEmmOnCars Many thanks , Im off to look at one , but Ive never even sat in one , and at 6ft and 16 stones and broad shouldered it would be very embarrassing if I didnt fit in it , I know youve driven one and having a powerfully developed lower chest your opinion is much valued.
Brilliant
The new Evora was built for bigger people. The owner or designer, I believe, is tall and was sick of not being able to comfortably drive his own cars.
Spot on
