Anyone else dislike the start button?
I'm sorry, but after using a legit start button - that is, one I don't have to put a key into the ignition and turn like normal anyway - I think it's kinda silly. Feels like such an unnecessary contrivance just for the sake if saying the car has a start button.
I know it's not exactly a huge inconvenience, butit just irks me a bit.

Bingo.
This has been discussed before and I believe that only one car (a M-Benz I believe) came with a legitimate push to start button at the time. This was very rare back then and I can assure you that if it wasn't the S2000 would have a keyless start button. The idea was a nod to racing heritage where race cars had/have starter buttons.

Most cars that don't have proximity keys today but had start buttons that you'd call true "push button start" cars also had a ton of switches to flip to turn things on. No car was ever just ready to go at the push of a button.
The logic with the S2000 push button is that if you are in the car and do anything to stall, you can shift to first with your right hand while restarting the engine with your left hand, so you can get moving again faster - typically for race conditions.
