    Quoted from o-din:

    No. When that battery in your key fob goes dead, you are stranded!

    Break off your key in the steering column and you're even more stranded.

    I'll take my push start any day personally. It's easy enough to change a battery and they last for a long time. Standard watch style battery. I just bought 25 of them for $10.00 last week.

    Quoted from o-din:

    Yeah, like that happens all the time! You can still turn it with a screwdriver.
    Some of you guys will try to think of any reason why new technology is always better. Tell that to the little old lady who's key fob went dead for her Lexus at my work a little while back.

    I was a valet at a country club years ago and saw at least two keys broken off accidentally in the ignition. Maybe a Benz and a Volvo with flip style keys.

    These newer cars also having warnings that your key FOB is low and gve you plenty of time to pop off the back and stick a new battery in. Takes less than 1 minute.

    I never take my key out of my pocket. What's not to like about that? I honestly cant imagine anyone not wanting PB technology.

    Plus it looks cool.

    I gotta admit as much as I love my key FOB not leaving my pocket, it has a nasty habit of sliding out and down the side of the seat next to my center console.

    I usually place it in the cubby next to my shifter if I think about it.

    Quoted from cottonm4:

    I have driven the newer cars with the gee-whiz key fob. It is nice and convenient. But if I lose my old school key I will have a spare or two hidden somewhere because they are cheap.
    Wait until you lose one of your gee--whiz key fobs and go to get a replacement and are told it will cost you around $300.00.

    That's like losing your key and having to get one made from a locksmith without the original. I can buy a replacement key FOB for my Challenger for about $50, programming can be done by the dealer for another $50 or so or you can program it yourself with a existing FOB.

    Don't wait until you lose your key FOB and it will be much more affordable to duplicate.

    Can you lock your dog in the car with the motor and air conditioning running on a hot day?

    Yea, my dog thanks me for my push start button.
