C8 door sill width compared to a C7
I currently have a C7 coupe and am thinking of ordering a C8 coupe. I never have sat in a C8 and I'm wondering if the C8 door sill width is wider from the outermost part of the body to the edge of the seat than what the C7 is? My C7 is about 9" wide at that point. Any wider I would think would make it harder for a short person to get in and out without sitting on side bolster. Need some help.

Keep both legs together and "Fall Back" into seat. Then swing both legs in together. I never try to get into or out of a Sports Car one leg at a time. Now the 6-10 yr old kids do hit the seat's bolster, but the ladies don't.
Get out the same way. except because of my lack of Leg strength, I have to push myself up an out. .
