Hi,
The VW 1L and the Loremo each present and interesting engineering solution/compromise to getting a light weight and safe vehicle -- they each "solve" this by changing to an unconventional entry door(s).
Personally, I think there are better engineering solutions, that keep the structural integrity and also have fewer compromises in terms of getting in and out of the vehicle in rain and/or snow and/or sleet. The most likely of these solutions is having several more latches on the door, so that it can be more a part of the structure of the vehicle, and the overall weight can be less than otherwise -- and you would have better crash strength; without giving up some conveniences.
