Is it stiff for the full arc of the opening, or just to get it away from the frame? Several people have reported problems with the door 'sticking' to the rubber seal.

Watch out when the door gets sticky ........ mine was like that for about a week then the door strut broke free, now awaiting replacement by warranty.

I had a similar problem, trhe passenger door handle went very hard to open, passengers thought the door was locked.
I mentioned it at the service, apparently it is one of the things that is on the "to do if the customer complains" list from Honda, so both front door handle mechanisms were replaced.
It's OK now.
