But inside, I wish they had made the passenger seat with a power recliner. Not even an option. I would gladly have paid for it.

Same with a front passenger grab handle above the door.

Anyone know if the support mechanism is there and if it can be added?

The missing front passenger door assist handle is the first thing my wife noticed when we test drove a C. A real bummer for her.

I later asked the dealer if they would install a door assist handle.
No way, was the answer. The handle would be to close to the side curtain air bags.

Later I saw these pictures and can see the side curtain bags deploy were the handle would typically go. If you don't have the Protection Group and side air bags, maybe someone could install a handle.
