Door Locks

Why does one have to pull on the door handles twice to open the door. Cannot figure out the logic behind this.

Why try to figure it out? It's a quirky car... go with it.

There are quirky things about MINI but this isn't one of them. Double pull to open the door (first pull unlocks) has been on BMW and VW for many years, and even GM and Ford are starting to put it in some of their cars now.
