------everyday car to be sold with one??

 

No

 

Actually, I was under the impression it was. What car was before it, 1putt?

 

The start button is actually a retro thing, it was quite common with old sports and racing cars.

Many MG's in the 60s and 70s were fitted with start buttons, for example.

 

Interesting. But I do think it is because of the S2k that push button starters are seen on so many cars today.

 

maybe the first for honda lol

 

Yes - they seam to be the first to bring it back. And it became somewhat of a fad. I remember when I owned an RSX-S one of the common things people would do was to replace the harzard switch with the Engine Start button from the S.

As you can see from this image - the hazard button (right side of the radio) is way too far away from the driver.

 

I put one in my civic, I just drilled a hole in the dash and installed a OEM S2000 starter button. It worked perfectly. The S was the car of my dreams as a 17 year old so having the iconic piece of the s2000 in my car was (at the time) one of my favorite parts of my civic.

 

Standard on my old '49 Ford and it was Chrome.

 

Luckily everyone else figured out how to do it correctly.
