On my first test drive the wind unexpectedly caught the door and the only thing that saved the car next to me was that the last test driver parked really bad so the door couldn't reach it. Sitting back, I couldn't reach the grab handle and I instinctively grabbed at the armrest to find nothing...

Won't keep me from buying it though.
I completely agree! This makes me stress when opening the door...
