bonk! - Toyota Yaris Forums

andruboz · 03-11-2009, 11:24 PM

About once in every 30-40 times i get into my yaris, i forget to duck enough, and bonk the side of my head on the door (roof) frame. [happend today on the way home from work]

I'm no NBA allstar - just 5'9" but my entry manuever must be calibrated to my colorado or maybe the yaris before the trd springs went on.

I'm not the only one am i?

im short n do the same thing.. sometimes when i go over a big bump, my head knocks domo out of my oh shit handle, making him hit me in the head then fall down....

Today I hit my head on the roof when I got in. I'm 5' 6".
Must have bounced on the seat.
Rim shot!

I'm 6'2" and I hit my head a few times while getting out. Mostly happened the first few week I had the car. I still can't figure out how to safely get out of my parent's Saturn VUE. And they had that thing for six years.

No problems here. But I've had lowered, sports cars prior to the Yaris Sedan so I'm well versed on the head duck/entry timing.

I'm pretty good about not hitting my head unless I am tired or a little tipsy.

I will try having my ears lowered.
