Yeah, I know. Power windows. But, I can lower all of them without contorting myself, and raise and lower them while driving. Only the driver's window is really safe to hand-crank while driving; the others require leaning so you're out of position.

My old car had crank windows. 12 years I drove it and thought it was fine. I see the other side now and it's (mostly) a good thing.
