Default New door handles for mid model cycle

I was at the dealer checking out the 370 and I found the door handles a little awkward to use and manouvor the door, I think a traditional handle would be more functional, still, it would not stop me from buying this car but it would be better with trad handles i think.

Ummm, I've found my door handles pretty easy to use. Place hand into recess...pull...door opens. I wish they did something like Lexus though where the handle/door knows to auto-unlock when you pull it rather than push the little button by the handle.

I think the door handles are nice to say the least. They're unique in that they're not horizontal like most cars. Some on here say they're too conspicuous, but I beg to differ. The silver color also bothers some, and again, I think on the contrary.

The FD RX7 had unique door handles in that they were obscured into the pillar. To each his own, but it's trivial to complain about door handles IMO.
