It's not clear what you're complaining about. Remote keyless entry, remote start, keyless ignition or all three?

I've driven late model vehicles that have no keyless features, and it's no fun at all. Particularly if the vehicle doesn't have power door locks as well. Most vehicles these days can only be unlocked from the driver's door if you don't have a remote. That's a real PITA. Suppose you want to put something in the passenger's side of the vehicle. You go to the passenger's side and realize it's locked. So you go around to the driver's side, unlock the door, get it, reach over and unlock the passenger door. THEN you can get back out, go around and finishing loading whatever it was you wanted to put in the passenger side.

Of course, if the driver's side door lock is iced up or otherwise inoperative, you have a minor emergency trying to get in a vehicle with only one keyed lock and no remote.

At a minimum, I want keyless entry on my vehicles. It saves a lot of aggravation.

Keyless remote start is a great feature in northern climes. Not only does it spare you the trouble of going outside to start your vehicle, you don't have to worry about somebody driving it off while it's warming up.

As for keyless "pushbutton" start systems, I've used them and don't really care one way or another. It's nice to not have to keep fumbling in your pocket for a key. If you drive one of these vehicles, the first thing you should do is figure out how to get the emergency key out of the fob and how to use it to enter the car. One day you'll have a dead battery, and you won't be able to figure it out without the owner's manual locked away in the glove box.
