    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

    I don’t love the gas mileage of those bigger vehicles

    • When my forester was new, it hit near 30 mpg- not bad for such a big car
    • my current suv is an EV, rated at 120 mpgE
