Extra door handle

[Jackbraddogs]

Hi All,
Since day one (about 6months) my wife and I find it difficult to close the front doors using the the inside door handle.
My previous car was a Kia Sportage and the handles were in perfect places.
There is a covered space just behind the window switches that would be perfect
In the recent high winds it is very difficult to open and close the doors safely.
Any ideas?

I can't say I've ever found any difficulty. ?‍

I don't understand the difficulty, do you mean the handle is in the wrong place or is it the wrong shape to get a grip on or something ?

Awkward angle for you or grip?

If the latter get yourself some...

I agree that the handles are farther fwd and require a bit more strength than I’d like. Would be nice if they offered an extra pocket to pull on tbh

Handle is in the wrong place.

Handle is in the wrong place.

Ok so it is a leverage issue, it being too hard to pull against the winds.

I haven't noticed this myself but I understand what you are saying. I think it is true of many modern cars.

Handle is in the wrong place.

Actually it's quite useful. If the door is fully open, you can reach the handle without having to lean way out of the car.

At least the outside handles work ergonomically. The door handles on my Golf had to be pulled in an unnatural direction to get the door to open at all.
