You have to hold the handle up while you close the door. I guess it's some kind of "you-can't-lock-your-keys-in-the-car" feature...

That was pretty standard on just about all Subarus back in the 80's and 90's.

Yup, my/the wife's Miata does the same thing... has to do with the central locking, where locking or unlocking the driver's door, also does the same for the passenger's side.
