Replying to: personatech (May 31, 2008 7:49 am) I'm not old and fat...at least not yet  but I really like the push-button start on my G35. I just put the key on my belt strap and I never need to touch it again until I get home.

Replying to: gooddeal2 (Jul 14, 2008 9:37 am) Wait a minute are you upset because you're not old and fat?  j/k I'm just curious, not having push button start, how the heck does it work? Is there a proximity feature in the fob and the car just reads that the key is in the car and will start or just what happens? I guess that aspect of not knowing how it works and whether or not people would be able to easily bypass it is what scares me. I know this is off topic, but I've just wondered how that whole function works. If you know how it works I'd love to know.

If you left your remote inside the trunk, you wouldn’t be able to close the trunk.  Of cause you can also use the remote to control the car from distance like any other remotes.

Replying to: thegraduate (Jul 16, 2008 6:27 am) I had the chance to drive the European accord 2.2L I-cdi, in France last month during a trip. The engine is quiet and responsive, my cusin claim the gas mileage is 5L per 100km, that translate to 50 MPG on hwy. Againg if we add the new catalitic converter to this engine to meet the US EPA requirement those numbers may fall into the 44 MPG. This has happend to the new 2009 VW jetta the expectation were 50 MPG, after they did not pass one of the EPA mission test they had to adjust the ECU software, and this adjustment did lower the MPG predicted before the vehicule is made for sale. I will expect the next batch of 2009 Jetta to be more fuel efficient than the one that is on the way to the dealer, right now. All 2009 Jetta diesels are sold in advance, I would expect the 2009 accord diesel to be more successful than Jetta in selling all 2009 Accord diesels. |
