I got them for the look but if the look isn't there for you then there's pretty much no reason to get them IMHO.

My thoughts too after test driving with them... but I actually saw a woman step on them to get in and out. Depends on your height of course. My wife (5'4") would've benefited from them as she complains about getting out the passenger side all the time - sport seats have that extra lip on the side too.
I know what she's talking about though, because at 5'11" I am hopping down an inch or so as well. I think a lot of it has to do with the stiffness of the seats... don't have this problem in my other SUV with cushy cloth seats. Still, I'd never step on the boards if they were there. Just an extra step that doesn't feel natural.
