Never had a problem at 5'10.1" and close to 210lbs. It's only the entry that's a bit difficult, but it's SO easy when you have the roof off on an Elise
Another advantage of being built muscular was that I never had to change the seats for any smaller seats, in order not to slide around on a track... I heard people complain they were too wide, but for me the standard seats fitted perfectly
I do have to admit though that one time on a track, doing demonstration laps, I had a pretty heavy guy (think about 300-320lbs) get in to the car, which made it very interesting to drive (almost impossible to shift as his leg was blocking the gear lever (stick as you call it there...))
Was funny when I had to go through a chicane the first time and actually lost the car due to him sliding over and pushing me out of my seat... Didn't hit anything luckily, and got him shouting "wow, that's fun let's do it again..." Erhm... NO
