No big deal either way. Not really preferable but a car deserves a few idiosyncratic features (if the car was French, they would have put the start button in the glove box).

I've said it before, what bothers me is when I get into my wife's RSX-S, I keep pressing the mirror-adjustment button and the dang car won't start.

 

That is reason enough to go to the nearest RSX forum, start a new thread about it, see how many pages that thread will run to the enjoyment of the site owners, rattle sabers with all kinds of fanatics and other oddballs, sell the car and never return to that forum.

 

Sounds like your experience on the Club RSX forum mirrors mine.

Nah, it just amazes me how two Honda products share so little DNA. Similar weight, displacement, HP, both "enthusiast cars" but I have not found a single part or feature in common unless you count lack of torque. I would have thought they'd at least used the same exterior door handles. Or the start button.

 

I visited that forum over a period of about a week way back when. It was the longest year of my life. This site got that way, too. I needed a 2 year absence just to get enough sanity and tolerance back to return for another trial run. Sanity runs a little thin and tolerance has always been teetering. I come equipped with a very sensitive "Schmuck gauge" and the gain turned way up on the "Punk-O-Meter".

 

Damn ive missed Viper, it just hasnt been the same without you! We need some old day S2KI, where Steve-C was the whole reason I would log in and admins had fun and joked with us.... things just arent the same anymore.

 

Ahhh, yes, "Steve C". I think I recently bumped into him on an RC airplane forum. I tried to bait him into admitting he is the same person as was on here but he was a bit "dodgy" about it so I can't be sure. The personality and temperament was the same. But I supposed there are several Steve C's on the net who still haven't removed that big splinter from their asses.
As for me, I've acquired a splinter up my ass, too, since my experiences from 2 years ago. I'll still help out S2000 owners but only the few where my alarms don't go off into double digit "Danger Will Robinson" territory or "Watch Out, Stupid Lives Here" zone. I won't be gang banged again. I'm a harsher, grumpier, more sarcastic and at times, more caustic "me". Diplomacy? WTF is that? Payback's a bitch.

 

In the thread that asked, "What do you dislike the most about your s2000" I said, "having to insert and turn the key to PUSH START the car".

I agree with OP. And I'm sure we're not the only two. I don't care if it had a standard key starter or a push button, I just don't want them both mixed.
