Well when I get too weak to insert the key and turn it for 1 second then I'll be too weak to drive it any way. Oh by the way I vote key.

I use the remote start so much, it doesn't matter. Although the push button ones are nice.

Even if the car starts because you are near it there is a limited range that it can move from the key before it shuts down.

Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't the challenger have the key start and push button? You can pretty much choose how you want to do it. I thought I remember seeing that somewhere.

you will have something in your hand the key you don't have to take out of your pocket.

Simple when Camaros can fly by 2050 it's already in the works.

I understand the second part, but many newer systems can determine if the key is in or outside of the car.
Do people with push-to-start cars keep the valet keys on them, though? I'd hate to get stuck somewhere and not be able to get in the car...

I'd also hate the feature that unlocks the door just because you're near the car - though, I'm sure that can be disabled (so that you can press a button on the fob, just like with our cars).

The Ford remote/push start keys have an emergency blade key in the fob that's supossed to be able to unlock/start I guess when the battery in the fob dies. I don't care about the push start, but it's handy as all hell to turn the air conditioning on a little ahead of time.

We have that push start on our new police chargers.....a pretty cool option once you get used to it.!!!!! no fumbling for keys when in a hurry or trying to hit the unlock button to get in the car. cool!!
