Power steering and brakes are in a complete different catagory. those are driving assists, like ABS, and Stabilitrack. Push button start is just a lazy persons excuse not to get his key out of his pocket, I don't even put that in the same catagory as remote start or keyless entry. Anyway I don't want my car unlocking and locking every time I walk by it like going to get the mail, or even getting into one of my other cars and have to walk past it.

If the fob dies your stuck with push to start because the chip can't be verified.

If the fob is stolen, you're just as SOL as you would be w/o push to start.

Otherwise anyone could bust the window and drive off...

I'm surprised no commented on the Top gear video I posted previously... They show you can drive w/o the key... at least within range.
Actually that is what I meant, with Push to start if you have a keyfob problem you are stuck. With a key you simple manually unlock the door and start the car.

I think all of them have also a key start too. Some are hidden like in the console or behind a flap like the Power outlets have.

That's not the way it works. You have to be standing next ot the car (within a few feet of the door handle) and touch the door handle to get it to unlock. It won't unlock til you touch the door handle. And if done right (not sure what the hell Dodge was thinking) you have to have the key inside the car to start it.

My only point is you guys seem to be making it sound pathetic to want. It's just a cool feature. I could give a shit less. If offered, I'd take it. Some guys are making it sound like it's some kind of embarassment to put in a car.

Of course. I've actually found that handy since it's been so hot.

Ok I'll Join this, LOL How many have really had an OLD car, much less a Muscle Car.........Me ME ME ME........AND I am ACTUALLY building a MUSCLE TRUCK 1963 Chevy C-10, ( I know I am a Redneck) and yes I am putting EVERY modern convienence in it that I can, WHY? BECAUSE I CAN.. Does it make it less of a Muscle Car/Truck/Classic....Hell No It just makes it easier to drive, more fun to drive etc.....Yesterday the heat index here was 108 yes 108. Years ago A/C was a LUXURY, today it is STANDARD just like all the feature being discussed.

I love mine the way it is, Kinda the reason I bought it............. For those who don't like it Go find an OLD one and Make it Exactly Just the way you want it...........but then again isn't that what owning a Camaro, Muscle Car/Truck, Hotrodding, Automotive Enthusiasm is all about?

I want to turn my key to start. Push buttons are just
something else to malfunction. Are you really going
to complain about turning the damn key? OMG.
Please...go get your Prius.
