I will never buy another car that makes you use a key to start it or makes you press a button on a key fob to open/lock the car. I absolutely love unlocking the car by just putting my hand on the door handle.
Car(s): Steel Silver MY10 GT Wagon + 1985 Subaru Sherpa

Mods: (GT) HKS Panel Filter. The HKS I put in the MY10 is the same filter I took out of my MY05 GT. So yes, they do fit. Custom leather heel pad to minimise carpet wear in the drivers footwell. Slotted front rotors. (Sherpa) 14'' 6 Spoke mags, Chrome Gear Shift (sick!), Alloy Pedals (sicker!), new positive and negative battery terminals, Alpine cda-9827 H/U, JBL GT 6x9's boxed and mounted (sickest!), Kicker DS650.2 component speakers mounted in the footwells in flibreglass pods, Alpine MRP-F200 4 channel amp (4x40wRMS), Rebadged with hektik chrome eBay badges, STi stickers for more powaaaa, "leather" handbrake boot, recarpetted with grey/black car carpet from Bunnings, sick Clarke Rubber boot mat, polished and waxed.

Do you love taking 2 year trying to figure out how to keep you radio on while turning the engine off, as well :mrgreen:

I'm with Garbo - once you go 'keyless' you will struggle to go back...

It wasn't actually something that bothered me. I never really sought to figure out how to do it, I only found out when I turned the car off with it still in drive. It's just another feature of a car that I enjoy.

I love the idea of keyless entry/start. I had a rental MY10 Ford Focus with it while in the UK & would love to have it on my car. Very very very practical :)
