I don't believe anyone can answer this for you - recommend you go try a Taycan at a local dealer.

it's is a low car with restricted entry - if you can/can-not easily get in/out of a 911 type vehicle the Taycan is most likely not for you.

you fall into it more than you get into it…

I'm 90% certain that if lower back problems are an issue for you, Taycan is not your vehicle - YMMV

Yes. I have severe back issues; multiple surgeries. The Taycan does my back no favors. It’s a two door body with four doors squeezed in. The B pillar had to move forward. If I didn’t love the car so much, I wouldn’t own one.

I would recommend sitting in the 14-way seat which has adjustable lumbar for lower back support to see how it feels.

Also recommend getting into the car backwards with both feet facing outwards — and once seated sideways, then pivoting 90 degrees to face toward the steering wheel while whole keeping your legs/hips/torso in alignment. To get out the car simply reverse the procedure.

Yes. I have a hip problem and this car is a nightmare to get in and out of.

I greatly enjoy it once I'm in, but it's a daily struggle.

In my experience, getting in is relatively easy, getting out is a nightmare though. I can never seem to get out gracefully and sometimes im even close to falling backwards into the seat again... YMMV but you probably should test it yourself if you think it might be a problem.

The taycan is definitely not the easiest to get in or out. Once you are seated, the seating position is nice and the seats very supportive. I consider the it very similar to a 911 or a Cayman. I am 5'8" and the weirdly, "comfort entry" makes things worst as it pushes the seat a tad behind the B pillar. Maybe the CT being a little higher helps?

I’m a very fit 5’8 145lb guy - it’s not easy to get out of - BUT what you can do is get one with adaptive air suspension and put in on highest setting when you want to get out

This may sound silly but having good physical mobility and strength makes everything in life a lot easier, from taking out the trash to getting in and out of your car. I recommend mobility and strength training as it helps a lot with almost anything. Being able to do a squat with proper form and depth is a good litmus test for good mobility, strength and balance. This youtube channel has helped me immensely https://www.youtube.com/@SquatUniversity
