My version of safe keyless. I just leave my key in my pocket and press the unlock on the plip as I unlock the car.
Why is using some kind of key considered a hardship, so needs to be done away with?
As a BMW owner with one of the stupid keys that slot into the dash, I'd be quite happy to just use a key to make it go. I could then have a mechanical steering lock, and it'd all just be more secure, and I would have other keys on the same ring as the car key without them rattling and scratching the dash!
To be honest i like having a key to start the car.
We should be using biometrics these days anyway, if my phone and computer can activate based on fingerprint or eye print then a bloody car should.
It's not just the inconvenience of the stop lock, if people want the cars that much then you are putting your personal security at risk, and your family as well. Afflicts Ford more than most which is a shame because they are making some cracking cars recently.

I have not heard of anyone getting car jacked in an ST
Range Rovers and Audis are also high on the list of getting nicked, a lot of the time houses are getting broken into and the keys being stolen as well.
If this is a concern you can always buy a Vauxhall
I would put a sign up at the front door with "I love Tony Martin" - that will stop just about anyone thinking of breaking in for keys
Ive been told the kia cee'd gt is a good car but it was a older person over 36.
I saw one of those the other day and thought "That's a good looking car".
No idea if its as good as it looks.
I can't remember being 36 its so long ago
well on paper its no GTR but it aint bad for a hatch with a 7 year warranty
Max Power (bhp @ rpm) 201 @ 6,000
Max Power (kw @ rpm) 150 @ 6,000
Torque (Nm @ rpm) 265 @ 1,500 - 4,500
Torque (lbs ft @ rpm) 195 @ 1,500 - 4,500
0-60mph in Seconds 7.3
Top Speed mph (kph) 143 (230)
Yeah i saw those, problem is i think it is more of a warm hatch/gt type car. Its not a wee puppy like a fiesta.
If Kia could maybe make a hardcore version then they would have a winner.
Did you say no to the fiat 500 as the 595 COMPETIZIONE is ****ing mental. I know someone with the 500 biposto which is stupidly mad and very quick but they are 35k but the competition is around 20k on the road.
Id vote for a Suzuki Swift. One of the performance models. I've just driven a 62 plate 1.2vvt model (bout 95bhp) and i tell you what it made me smile. Actually rather quick for a 1.2, i had it pegged at at least a 1.4 maybe a 1.5 but was shocked when i discovered it was only a 1.2. Very rev happy engine and handled quite well.
So another quote back,
2ltr sport MX5 in black
42 months
3k deposit
£300 a month exactly.
£8043 balloon
Thats a good price.
I expect an st3 on 3k/42 to be low 200s i would think.
The local ford dealer quoted me 270 straight off for 2k x 48 (iirc) but i walked out when i found he wouldnt do the mountune kit, like WTF???
What are the annual mileage limits on that?
So that is 12600 in rent, plus 3k deposit, so you are paying £15.6k to rent a car you have to give back.
Those figures are astronomical. You could buy a great 911 for £15k, the running costs are not that much higher using specialists, and then could get £12k at least for it in 4 years time
