Keyless and remote entry. Stands to reason does it not. You always see the female (or male) running toward their car pursued by the axe wielding psychopath then fumbling with keys desperately trying to unlock car, or if unlocked then struggling with ignition key. So now its run, hobble trip or whatever to the car, push the fob to unlock and jump in and press the start button. Or if you own a real flash car it will start while you approach. I knew there had to be an upside to all this new tech (although press button start is older than I am) However. there is always the ol flat battery to worry about.

And here i was thinking such profound insight from gunnie would be . That it's all gone to the dogs since the last camry?
Not motoring but well worth a looksie-even has a damsel in distress.

If I had real issues with me Camry I would ask here, but I don't. I'm almost embarrassed I have no mechanical issues to sort. Even the wife's IST is going strong, although. it sometimes won't beep when in reverse, another Toyota fail no doubt. I'm surprised there has been no litigation all around the world about that one.

OMG no beep in reverse! Won’t that scare your offspring? Better push that danger to society off a cliff.

Doesn't always work. I was surprised to trip over a Youtube clip discussing buying cars with bullet holes at auction in the US. Just being in the car didn't help quite a few going on the biohazard stickers.

Fumble for keys while running but reason doesn't apply in films.

Cars are never locked in films (at least when people walk away from the cars).

Depends on where in the world--nowadays expensive car owners more likely to be murdered as their cars are so much more secure.
