One thing I miss about all the small cars we've had 1991 (Mazda 323, 1972 Super Beetle and 1985 Golf diesel) was the esse of being able to push them.

Sure, they didn't have AWD (although were pretty good cars for snow, ice and mud). But if you did get stuck it was pretty easy to get them unstuck.

And since all were stick shift, if something happened to the starter or the battery was pretty drained they were pretty easy to pop-start.

When I've had the 12V battery start to die on the Avalon there's nothing that can be done to start it without having another vehicle.
