I'm 37 yrs old, 5'10" with back problems and I get in and out of my Metro 30x a day doing pizza delivery and it doesn't cause me any issues with my back. The manual steering is another issue though but I am getting more shoulder strength from driving it so it is becoming less of an issue. There is plenty of head room too, especially in the 4 door. The 89-91 seats seem to be more comfortable than the 92-94 seats ( I have both a 91 and a 92) and have a lot of lumbar support. Then again, I am a Geo Metro fan boy...

(Note: the car sees 100% city driving and is EPA rated at 37 mpg city)
