Yesterday i stopped to help two elderly ladies with a flat tyre,I was very surprised at the quality of the jack in the VW Golf,I consider myself to be quite strong in the arms,but it took considerable amount of effort to turn the micky mouse handle on the jack,the jack had no gearing or leverage,the arm was way too short to offer any leverage,so if you gonna buy a car for you wife ,girlfriend or both,have a look at the smaller things, if these ladies were stuck on a road at night they would never have been able to change the wheel.What also amazes me is the smaller the lady the bigger the 4x4 has to be,my mate bought his wife,( she must weigh about 40kg and is as thin as a plank) a Fortuner,I dont think she will even be able to lift the spare wheel let alone jack up the car and change the wheel.
