Default 1984 vs 2003 entry/exit difference?

I had a 2003 and had to sell it due to back problems, entry and exit was painful. LOVED driving it, hated getting and out.
I found a 1984 for a real good price and am seriously considering it. Main concern is if it is easier to get in and out of. It looks easier, seats don't look as low.
It is 250 miles from so I can't just try it out. I may ask someone with a close year at a local car show if I can "try it on".
So, what is everyone's opinions?
Thank you all.

Hello, this Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes, or other questions not related to the website, as they will not be seen by other Corvette owners.

Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.

Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see the generation of your Corvette. C4 Corvettes, 1984 - 1996:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-1984-1996-19/
