It has the keyless ignition. I'm still not totally used to it, but so far turning off the car as I exit is fully automatic. As it should be for everyone, regardless of what kind of vehicle they have. I gather that some of the higher end vehicles with keyless ignition are supposed to shut off automatically when you get a certain distance from the car. For me that's exactly the sort of thing I don't trust. Heck, I don't trust the interior or exterior lights to shut off automatically and always spend that extra time making sure it happens.
That said, I truly love my keyless ignition. I'd been driving a 2004 Honda Civic since 2006, and I was long since ready for a replacement car. Recently I achieved the financial wherewithal to make it happen. Yes! I had actually hoped to buy a brand new Fit, but a couple of months ago they disappeared from the dealers. I learned that there was a flood in the factory in Mexico that makes them for the U.S. market. Darn. A couple of days after I visited my local Honda dealership I got a call from the salesman telling me they had just gotten in a 2017 on a trade, and I should give it a test drive. So I went in, fully planning to say I'd hold off for a new vehicle. But in the process of the test drive and discussing various things I learned that the 2017 was the last year Honda was installing a CD player. Excuse me? Not every single person in North America is abandoning real CDs for the digital equivalent. Two or three times a year I go on a road trip and check out books on CD from my local library to listen to while driving. I really, REALLY wish that people who design things like these cars would understand that not everyone has put all of their music and all of their books on their Ipad or their phone. Sigh. Anyway, it was the CD thing that made me buy this car and I'm currently very happy with it. Maybe in a decade or so when I purchase the replacement car I'll have fully switched over to digital, but for now, this is perfect. Heck, I even went on line and purchased a bunch of CDs of my favorite groups to listen to while driving around town.
My own idiosyncrasies aside, I really want to see a time travel story in which the time traveller complains A LOT about not having a cell phone or the internet or you tube or whatever. I'm old enough that I came of age long before such stuff, and if you sent me back before 1995 or so I'd be complaining a great deal and all of the time.
