Agreed on 2015 being the peak - I have a Mazda 6 which has similar mpg and is big enough to be a stealth camper. The only contrivance I could do without is key

Agreed on 2015 being the peak - I have a Mazda 6 which has similar mpg and is big enough to be a stealth camper.
The only contrivance I could do without is keyless ignition, which provides an effective attack vector for thieves and the ability to lose the keys while driving.
A mobile phone in works well to augment the aging infotainment / satnav, the only issue being UK law is unclear on whether it's allowable to touch a phone in a cradle. The police say you cannot touch your phone when driving and lawyers say you are only banned from using a handheld device, which a phone in a cradle is not.
- hermitcrab 3y agoI've had 2 Mazda 6's. Great cars, but the second one had keyless ignition, which I found really annoying. If I am leaving something valuable in the boot (trunk) I want to try the door handle to check the car is locked. But as soon as you walk up to the car it unlocked. I would have to give the key to a family member and have them walk away first. Grrr.
- willtemperley 3y agoVery annoying. You can get it keyless entry disabled on the car I believe.
- heywire 3y agoMy 2016 CX-5 has settings for keyless entry in the infotainment system. Wonder if the 6 does also?
