......well,any time I had dinner out with chix,I wouldn't make them wait for
me to make my way into the car,I'd open their door FOR them.
Oh!...and if they lean across the seat and unlock YOUR door before you
make your way to it,it just might be your night. :o0
It is a lonnnng way across that Imp seat.

I can agree with 1 & 2, but whats wrong with power locks on a 2 door? One
benefit I can see right away would be that if you have a passenger, you can
open
their door right away instead of them having them wait for you to make your
way
into the car & then reaching accross to let them in. Later on, when you want
to
lock the other side, you won't need to make that long reach to the other
side.
