Good question. My wife's RAV4 has a rear door that will only close if you press a button. You can't close it manually. Furthermore, it's on the door while it's open and my five foot tall wife can barely reach it. It's ridiculous.

Wouldn’t your wife have a hard time closing it manually too then?

You know, that's true and it didn't even occur to me. I guess she just wouldn't have bought it? (I would have been fine with that, I hate SUVs, even hybrids.)

On older Toyotas the rear door has a strap inside that hangs down for people to grab onto and pull the door down to close.
