YOU ALWAYS have to depress the clutch with a manual transmission.

i dont understand the point of having to turn the key to press the button. turning the key defeats the purpose. my moms benz you dont even have to touch the key, you just walk up the the car and it unlocks and then you press the brake and push start.

is there a way i can start my car without a key....i dont really car if it gets stolen

If you leave the top down it makes it easier to get in while it's rolling.

ugh...


the s2000 was desined to not only handle like an f1 car but, also to LOOK like one as well.

the push button start is one of many f1 inspired features on the s2000. there is no point to any push button start on a production car, really. it's mainly for looks, just like the all digital dash display.

now please, ask more questions that don't require using google. we are not google. google is google. go to it.

thanks for that, you're completely right.


ap1's were desingned after formula 1 cars.
ap2's were desingned to look like ap1's, but only be useful for getting grocieries while sippin' on your prune juice.
