Do you like the Twin's exterior door-pulls?
 
I was struck by how elegant our exterior door-pulls were the other day. I wasn't drunk. It's just amazing when you think about it, how important a door-pull is. I'm always annoyed by the flimsiness of recessed door-pulls, and I really admire Toyota and Subaru for not trying to hide them. I'm impressed with how solid they feel as well, considering they're made of plastic, coming strait out each time with no twisting or flexing or strange noises. I'm also impressed with how well they hide in plain sight and don't really harm the lines of the body.

The only other door-pulls that I really liked were on old cars where a pull was attached to the door and you had to push a button with your thumb.

My most hated door pulls from previous cars in order of hate:
'71 Pontiac Firebird
'92 Saturn SC2
'92 Toyota MR2

What are some of YOUR most hated door-pulls?

Never in my life had I heard someone call them door pulls instead of door handles.

+1 I'm not sure what made me come to this thread. I've also never evaluated or cared to pay attention to them? Lol

They are springy as hell too. If you let them go at full pull they snap back with a solid hit.

97 Pontiac Sunfire GT. First new car, but, still hated the door handles. Not body coloured and felt cheap.

I've never owned one of these, but I always thought the 2008-2012 Honda Accord door handles looked like they were upside down...

I love the way the handles feel in my hand. Very solid, unlike my 2000 Prelude.

i was impressed with how sturdy the window was when you opened the door, without the frame going around the window

one of my previous cars when you opened the door the window always felt like it was going to fall out


but that was also on a 99 plymouth Neon

I like them, but you really need the door protectorant clear vinyl behind it, espec on the passenger side where people don't pay attention to their hands. look at a car that has these types of door handles that's a little older, 50,000 scratches, ugly. otherwise, yes I like them
