It's because some people are tall and some short, so a wee short woman can reach the button on tailgate to close it. Simples!
Not a given, as BG have been giving half price electric between certain hours on a Sunday, and during the Olympics, or was it the Euros. So that saving wasn't available to us prior to BG introducing it. The saving obtained by switching stuff off during anticipated peak times was not very much as we don't tend to run with much electric if we can avoid it. Cooking is via gas, a decision we made when the kitchen was replaced three years ago.
My Foresters had a tailgate which had height setting. But even fully open it was still too low for my 6ft 4 inches, but my wife at 5ft 2in had no issues. Being made in Japan clearly affected the designers decision.
When i buy a car, after deal is done i ask for the handbook to take away with me , then go on arranged day to collect car. Gives me plenty of time to read up on all the gizmos .
Can’t ever recall if my wife has ever read a handbook. Unlike Billy I don’t read it before I collect a car. If I’d done that with hire cars I would have needed an extra 24 hours hire. But after collecting a new car for us I do sit down and read it. Then probably again a few weeks later and it’s surprising the extra information that you gain.
