My tablemate, Wilma, was shocked to find that her new Toyota had no keyhole on the passenger side door. Car must be opened from the drivers' side.
I thought that was curious, so I took a tour of the parking lot on my scooter. Ah hah. I found a Lincoln that has no passenger side keyhole. In fact it had no keyhole at all, just a combination keypad on the drivers side. I wonder if it works when the battery is dead. Maybe Lincoln's batteries don't go dead.
I also found a keyless passenger side door on a Jeep, a Nissan, a Ford, and a Honda. Is that the way cars come now?
Why?
In the comments section below...ryanagi tells why... car doors are "keyless" now. You press the key in your hand and the door unlocks. Wilma, the car owner mentioned above, found this out too, to her amazement. She says, "One of these days, I am going to read the owners manual."
We're just twentieth century kids that have lived into the twenty-first. We have a lot to learn about modern conveniences

First I've heard of this. Guess I'll find out in five or ten years, when I get up to 2005 in my used cars. - Karen

Humm don't pay that much attention to cars. Don't know if I would like that feature or not. I'm sure glad we have you to keep us up on these things. Paula
Besides all the pass words to remember for almost every site you visit. Know is one more thing to remember.

Ya know what? I have no idea if there is a keyhole on the passenger side of my van or midsize cars...they both have a keyless entry remote. I just hit the unlock button on my keyring. I have never actually inserted the key in the lock EVER on these two cars. LOL
call me weird but I actually do read my owners manual right away when I buy a car. I was teased so badly two years ago when I brought my then new car's manual to work for "light" reading.
