| Left lane news is reporting that Honda is preparing a V6 diesel for introduction to the U. S. in 2010. The engine would appear first in the Odyssey then in other vehicles as a alternate to the 3.5 gasser,including the Accord! | |

I know that in my future profession, money is hard to come by for the first few years, so I'm hoping that during those years I have no car payment because I'm still driving my '06 Accord. With only 36k and change on it right now, and with (my 2nd) college graudation three years away, I'm hoping that my car won't be close to the end of its life when I enter the workforce; maybe a 6 year-old 80k mile Accord that still gets me 37 MPG highway quite regularly!

The car will sense that the key is still in the car and keep you from making a stupid mistake. It's also really cool to toss the key in the trunk and close the trunk... only for it to immediately pop back open. It makes for a great party trick.

Saves you reaching into your pocket to find your key, push the unlock button, the putting the key in the ignition switch and turning the key. Some people love it, some take it or leave it, some couldn't be bothered, some think it's more that can go wrong, some wouldn't spend a dime for it.

The entire gamut of opinions. Personally, I think it's technology for the sake of technology, and prefer that the 2009 Accord did NOT offer keyless start. It's unnecessary. Just my 2 cents after having it for 3 years now. There are similar debates about the benefits of i-drive, COMAND, and other "intelligent" systems. I prefer to drive my cars, rather than "interface" with them.

Replying to: cstiles (Jul 24, 2008 8:00 am) One downside (big downside) is when you have to replace or recharge the battery in the keyless start fob. In the BMW, you have to plug the FOB into a slot in the dash for a recharge. If power is totally exhausted, you have to then reprogram the fob and the car's settings so the car recognizes it. What's the point? You have to pull the fob out of your pocket. Plug it in. Then hit the button. Worse....if the battery has to be replaced, you need to reprogram everything, again. And, you still have to dig out the "emergency" key from the FOB, anyway. I would imagine other systems are similar. Give me a simple key to twist and I'd be happier.
