It's not the door handles that is the issue in that quote. It's the frameless windows. Cars with frameless windows often need to retract the window slightly when the door is opened, so that the window clears the edge of the body of the vehicle that they tuck up into when it is closed. Many other vehicles do this as well.
- voisin 3y agoFrameless windows is an example of over complicating vehicles with needless technology that inevitably breaks and really doesn’t add anything to the experience of the vehicle. I am unclear why manufacturers keep designing features like this.
- kube-system 3y agoIt is worth noting that not all vehicles with frameless windows require the glass to be retracted to clear the frame. It is mostly a cosmetic thing, but also, it is practically impossible to offer a convertible version of a car without it.
