Keyless fobs. Why?

[LuS1fer]

I have a Fiesta ST and find the while keyless thing totally pointless.
I know where the key is when I have an ignition and otherwise have to try and remember where it is and still have to find it, to lock the car.
Given most fold, what exactly is the point?
Pointless technology?

Just wait until you have a START button.

I do and that's behind the wheel where it's hard to get at... grrr

Is your car an ST-2?

With the ST-3 you have the keyless ignition as well as the keyless entry so you jay press the button on the handle and open the door. Makes more sense that way. I would pay extra mind, it's just the deal I got was on the ST-3.

Yes. So I have to unlock the car on the fob, get in, throw the key in the tray, press the START button and when i stop, I have to press the START button to stop the engine and then root for the key so I can lock it when I get out.

So many opportunities to lose it or have to root round ypour pockets looking for it.

Yes, it has a key inside it for emergencies but really, I prefer a key. I actually like the turning of the key, not the pressing of a button.
