I like power locks and windows. Lets just hope they don't come out with automatic windows that go up when it starts to rain, LOL.

Just wondering, do you guys actually like this feature? I've had it on other cars and if you ask me its the most annoying thing ever. Thank God they give you the option to disable it. Actually I don't like anything operating "automatic", dome light, headlights, doorlocks, radio, etc....

Just my opinion.

Why would automatic door locks annoy someone?

Because everytime I go to drop someone off or pick them up I have to unlock the stupid door, its not a big deal but it is one more step in the process. I like to keep things simple and besides, its one more thing to pay for and one more thing to break. If I feel I need my doors locked for safety then I will do so but thats hardly ever the case for me. If I lived in an area that I always needed my doors locked then the first thing I would do is look into moving instead of buying a car that locks the doors automatically.

Like I said, its just my opinion. B) [/b][/quote]
Oh, mine automatically unlock too.

Mine doesn't do it automatically... I don't need to enable this function, I figure if anyone wants to get out while moving, they're not worth keeping anyways!!!

The GT Manual is a blast!!!

On my T-Bird, if the door is locked and you try to open the door, the door unlocks and you can get out without unlocking the door. My '76 Mustang did that too. I like it. Not sure if there is any negative effects to this. As I have had them for several years with no problem, I do not know. I guess you could fall out while riding along - that almost happened to a buddy when he did not lock his door (he was a passenger in the back seat of a volvo though, going around a bend in the road, the door flew open).

They have to unlock when you use the inside handle, if you crash and the car is on fire, I know I wouldn't want to be hassled unlocking the door first........
