I agree regarding sliding doors, and I agree when you have a baby on your arm while you want to open your car, it can be very easy having e-sliding doors. True.
Reliability: Our EV1 (Evasion/Synergie) was almost faultless.
EV2: 807 was a (electronic) nightmare for 18 months and then no issue (almost).
I never had electronic pbl's on my 2003 C8, only mechanical!
Keeping our fingers crossed for the C8... But it appears to have greatly improved in quality since the 2003 model...
I agree - I even see differences between my 2005 C8 and my one day old 807.

My history:
1. Ulysse I 2.0jtd S 110hp: 07-2000 => 07-2003 ~147.000km - only mechanical, engine related pbl's (pulley, turbo tubing: a couple of times beside the road)
2. C8 2.0HDi SX 110hp: 07-2003 => 06-2005 & 101.000km - a whole list (A4) of child-diseases (rear tire wire as most important one, doorgrips peeling off, crumbling seat cushions... ), no electronic but mechanical pbl's (again pulley, accessoiry belt, pulley of dynamo/generator: a couple of times beside the road) - car desperately exchanged for new C8 (dealer very comprehensive)
3. C8 2.0HDi Image 110hp: 06-2005 => 07-2008 & 148.000km - just a crumbling seat cushion but later (quality was slightly better) but the
broken timing belt (although no pulley pbl's anymore: design of pulley has been changed)
4. 807 2.0HDi ST Comfort 136hp
