I think the issue is how high the seat is off the ground and how the door is designed. Bucket seats that are situated so that your rear end is lower than your knees make it hard to get out of the vehicle, especially on an incline. Recently, I was in the rear seat of another vehicle recently and there was literally not enough room to let my foot (woman's size 6-7) pass between the end of the seat and the door hinge without rotating my foot to the right. I've been told by someone who has serious knee problems that the PT Cruiser is also easy to get in and out of. I was in a Scion recently and found that easy to get in and out of.

I’ve been told by someone who has serious knee problems that the PT Cruiser is also easy to get in and out of.

After all, Mercedes drivers can't be expected to actually pay attention to the road, can they?
