Is the Button fun, or just a gimmick?

At first, it seems neat beyond description, but if you have to turn the key, depress the clutch, then hit the button before the car starts,....well,.....that seems like a lot of work just to start a car.

Is it fun or a slight inconvenience?

I love it, actually prefer it over turning the key. Big each time I start 'er up!

Everytime I hit the button, it puts a huge smile on my face. It's just another subtle difference that I love about this car. I will never get tired of the button.

I don't think this is necessary on euro models...
Do americans need to be monitored? Don't they learn to always check if they're on neutral before starting the engine? Ooh, I forgot... they drive automatic cars...

Love the button, great gimmick...and it's a throw back to Honda's racing days, where the race cars were started via a button. Love the button...!

Imagine my dismay when I get in my 4Runner and my left hand reaches for it. Doh!
