Will it get push button start?

[Jecht]

Push start is a neat ideal but I prefer a key. Like they say if it isnt broke dont fix it. My one worry is what if that system breaks somehow and you cant start your car? Even with my 2000 accord I dont like the idea of that little chip in the key. Call me old fashion and I know times are changing. Like I said its a neat idea.

Only thing I really wish for, is a true keyless entry system, like a keypad on the driver's door. So utterly convinient, especially if I want to run out and grab something from the car.

There are actually fewer parts that can go wrong in a push button ignition system than a key and tumbler socket ignition. It's actually a less complicated way of performing the same operation. But just as secure.

Didn't some early models so equipped have a failsafe (some place to actually stick a back up key to do the deed in case something fails? I am pretty sure I saw something like this on a 2006 mazes cx9 and some 2002 Renaults in France (this was the first time I ever saw a car with push start, but in these you still had to stick the card in a slot in the dash)

The Infiniti intelligent key fob can be inserted into a slot near the steering column should its battery die. There is a physical key inside the fob that can bu used to unlock the driver`s door.

What if the starter fails and you can`t start the car - should be have stayed with hand cranks

Thanks!

It's seems to then that there is indeed not a big risk increase with this system (at least if executed properly).

LOL. You then just have to remember to crank with the right arm (or is it the left ) to avoid breaking a bone.

Lets also forget about power steering and breaks. Spinning the wheel and emergency breaking used to be a good way to exercise arms, torso and legs.

Rofl!!!!

a push button start would be awesome

Personally I'd rather not have push button start.

I'd like to see one like the Nissan's have...completely keyless when you need it because your hands are full of stuff, but you can also pull out the key when you want. Speaking as a female, I would LOVE to have a completely keyless entry and start because the last thing I want to do is search into the bottomless pit of a purse that I have trying to find my keys.

Guess we'll have to wait and see....

If you have keyless push start why would you all the sudden feel the urge to get the key out and use it instead.
I think the key part is meant to be used ss a fail safe in case the battery of the keyless remote suddenly dies on you.

When the battery dies the alarm goes off, even with the physical key, lol. My wife's Sentra is a pain about that, but I still almost got an Altima just for the feature. Very glad I didn't, but it is a nice one.

This sounds like an annoying byproduct ...
If the accord has this feature it would he interesting to find out how it handles this scenario...
