OMG, "turn of the key" is an expression and you guys are being way too sensitive over this journalist failing to recognize/give-props to our quite late-to-the-party push button start. He simply chose to use a familiar phrase to describe turning on the car over bragging about something a model year 2000 Honda S2000 had...

I'm not sure what that has to do with credibility, but in my opinion -- absolutely nothing.

^^^+1, I agree

One thing though the s2k push start is a lil more annoying because its not an I-Key that can be n your pocket or in the car quarters....its gotta still be in a keyhole I believe and at that point U might as well give it a turn...The I-Key goes a step further for convenience. Your key doesnt have to TOUCH your car...

I think most people on this thread are vexed by the subtle, but incorrect references to the car. Maybe he meant to use "turn of the key" as an expression, but nowhere else in the article does he mention that the car comes equipped with a keyless entry and a push start button, which places the reader under a false pretense that this car requires the use of a key. At least that's the way I interpreted it when I glanced through the review.

I don't disagree with the writer's conclusion about the car, and I do like how he/she pointed out some of the performance features. I just think that the article could have been more comprehensive, and if the rest of his/her material is written with the same level of detail and effort, I wouldn't waste my time reading this column again.

If anyone wants to flame on me for this, feel free to do so. This is just my opinion, that's all. I am entitled to that, right?

He drives a Mustang, and likes it. Enough said.

Exotic exhaust. At least he's right about that.
