Hey what up guys,

I got a 93 Hatch DX and I was wondering if you guys have to pull your inside door handle to lock and and unlock the car from the inside. My passenger door isnt like that. And also the door works fine from the outside.

Yes, its so you dont lock your keys in as easily...
I think its great.
You will get used to it. pull the handle with your finger, flick the lock with your thumb

I'm so use to flipping the lock as soon as I open my door, that I've locked my keys in the car twice already because of it (or just me not paying attention). Thank god I managed to leave the passenger side unlocked both times (very very rare).

yep, its a safety feature like the rest had said. I can't imagine why it would bother you really. I mean, now that i have an em1, i find myself still trying to lock the door that way even tho i have keyless entry! haha i just got used to it i guess!
