Like the idiotic new capacitive touch controls of BMW's shifter... it's an answer to a question that nobody was asking.
I have gotten used to the pull technique. Since they don't require a mechanical "pull", you have to treat them like touch sensor. I now just put my hand in the handle and lightly touch the inside. I don't try to "pull" the handle like I do in other cars. Once you get used to that, the solonoid delay isn't noticable.
Finally, one hidden benefit of the handles is that it makes washing the car easier. Since they rest flush within the door, washing and waxing has fewer edges to navigate. Minor bonus...
When we bought the car, my wife said, "Those things are going to be the biggest problem". So far, this is mostly tru
I'd prefer a simple handle.
