This style of door lock is just the worst. I want to hang my arm out the window, dammit.

No, it’s excellent. That allows you to lock people in the car.

I see a post of “types of door locks” coming in the future.
By far the worst ones are the one used by Ford of Brazil where the door handles push in automatically when you go over 10 km/h and you feel like there is no way to get out. It wasn’t helping the fact that I was in the back seat and the child locks were on so I spend a few desperate seconds trying to get the door to open.

But like literally any car made after 1990 the door unlocks itself when you pull on the handle.

That’s why I like the ones in the V50. They recess completely into the door when the car is locked, and unlock with one pull of the handle. Two pulls to open the door if the car is locked, which is confusing at first but I quickly got used to it.

not my 97. But yes. These suck. this is why people would unscrew these and deal with the unsightly hole instead.

None of the ten 1990+ vehicles I’ve owned have done that.
I hate those lock too though.

My Geo Metro did that.

Really? Weird. I’m not sure how I feel about that feature.

Disgusting side note: I’ve seen one of these (well, and vintage metal one) puncture someone’s arm in a crash before. Be afraid!

Mine has the same style. Pulling on the handles doesn’t unlock the door.
