Is vitz push button start secure?

[Adnant]

I am about to buy a vitz 2008 model with push button start.
I wanted to know is push button start secure/useful?
What are its advantages and disadvantages?

[panicslayer]

Its not secure. Sometimes, the terrorists fit a bomb in it and when u push the button...... BANGGG!!!!!!!

Well just kidding, on a serious note, there is nothing such to be unsecure for the button. No advantage/disadvantages are concerned. Its just another something

[Adnant]

LOL!!

Well i meant can anybody start the car if it is unlocked by just pressing thr button?

Adnant: The key has to be in the ignition for the car to start.

Many people r saying that it costs a lot to get the push button start repaired. Is it true? can it be repaired?

There is a sensor in its keyring and once the key is not in the range of the car's engine gets off. in case of a vitz push start you dont need to install any security system.

If I loose the remote they say.. it costs around 40,00o because it has to be imported from japan? Is this true?
What about keys ? Can vitz keys be made if i loose one?

I also have Vitz 2007 with Push Button Start. Its totally secure, as engine doesn't gets started if remote(transponder) is not in range. Anyhow my vitz came with only one remote, but i bought another remote from japan and got it programmed locally in just 17000/- total.

[Rats]

Totally secured and its Cool to be pressing a button to start your car than the usual of insert the keys.

Some claims this is created for the ladies so that they dun have to search their handbag for the keys........if you know what kind of things the ladies have in their bag!!!
