getting in and out is bad enough but you also gotta think what would happen in a crash.

Thing is with most of the others is that they are kinda tall and the seat ends up a little close to the steering wheel making getting in and out a pain in the a***.
There are a few that are short enough, Porsche seats spring to mind, they have a nice flat runner too, not too bad to fit.
As for the Volvo 340 ones, they are probably one of the worst, very comfy but you can only just get your legs between the seat and the wheel, getting in and out is bad enough but you also gotta think what would happen in a crash.
