Default Starter Button Problems

I have been wanting to ask this question for a long time now, and that is have anyone had to push the starter button twice to get the car to start. My car seems to have that problem. Even when the clutch pedel is pressed down all the way, I have to push the button twice somtimes, not always but most of the time. should i get that checked out soon?

I think it's mostly a timing issue. Make sure your foot is on the clutch for a good second before hitting start.
