Why can't the Yaris have sliding doors like a van?

I have a heavy door, 2dr, but with all the sound deadening material, its just heavy. Tho i did scrape my door once parked downhill, and gravity amplified the doors weight.

hahahaha, awesome... either you're really fat and can't use your right arm to hold the door while you open it with your left, or you're 95 years old and lack the strength to hold the door anyways even if you can reach the door with your right arm....
opening doors should be the like the 3rd step they teach in drivers ed, right after reaching into the pocket to pull the keys out, and unlocking the car door...

When I open the door I hold the handle and quickly move to hold the frame of the door. Some parking spots are tight and a small gust of wind allows your door to bang into the car next to you. Since I have a two door and carry a backpack on my commute holding the door with one hand and grabbing my bag with the other is a habit of mine.

I needed this 4 year old post 1) I've notified Toyota in regards to this design flaw 2) Yes, PARK in the opposite direction of the wind 3) If you can't handle a Yaris door, NEVER buy a 1970- 1981 Camaro or Firebird |
