Girth has nothing to do with it, it is designed for people who are shorter than i am.
The edge of the roof is too low for me to get into or out of the car easily. Even with my neck and back bent over as far as i can, the edge of the roof hits me in the ear.
To get out of the car I stuck both my feet out first, then twisted and landed my feet on the ground, and then climbed out backwards. Getting in was more awkward.
When I returned the vehicle the attendant watched and asked me why I didn't get a bigger car, at that point I just sort for laughed.
