Have any of you owned a car with a sliding side door? Do you have anything I should worry about if I were considering a car with one.

My MIL has drama with her powered slide door; apparently there's a belief shared by only half the family that it's "bad for it" to manually open and close the door, and a lot of fuss made when someone forgets and grabs the handle, or the driver doesn't activate the mechanism promptly.

(AFAICT, it's a social problem, not a technological one.)
