What if I want something I don't have to squat down to get into? I like small trucks and small SUVs because I can just lift my leg and slide in. I'm getting older, my knees ain't what they used to be, I don't want to feel like I have to squat to get into a car and have to feel like my arse is dragging on the pavement like I'm in Mario Kart. But I don't love the gas mileage of those bigger vehicles.
I'd prefer a bus (and I'd prefer it to be electric) if I lived in a city that supported either, and if public transportation went to my job (it doesn't). Cars are necessary where I live, and I'm here because I dream of a better world, but, I also gotta pay bills, and wishes don't do that.
Yeah, completely agree. For a lot of years I could never understand why people wanted such top-heavy vehicles, then my knees started getting bad. When my wife suggested looking at a Subaru forester, I was offended. Then I got in and out a few times, and the difference was huge. So much easier
I just got a newer car and I gotta say the height was up there in priority as my knees keep getting worse- yep, another suv. Not monster sized but enough to be easy to get in and out and my adult kids to be comfortable if they’re in the back seat
