I have some of the factory side steps on my 2011 HSE that I just bought second hand. They are not bad, and if you are vertically challenged I would imagine they could help getting in and out although access height does most of that for you.
I am going to replace them with sliders because I have a history of dukes of hazard style driving off road, so if you decided you wanted some make me an offer if you are near Brisbane.
