The one's with keyless entry should lock and unlock as the key fob moves in and out of range.

Mine is a limited BRZ with keyless. Does not function like this at all. Nor would I expect it to. No settings have been changed since dealer delivery. If I exit the car and touch nothing and walk away, it will not lock by itself. Also, "unlocking" on it's own is not what's happening either. It's unlocking based on a proximity sensor in the handle that senses your hand in conjunction with the FOB in range. That same prox sensor will lock the car for you if you hold your hand by the handle before you walk away.
This all requires interaction, though, and is not automatic. The range of the FOB alone does nothing for any of this.
The delayed re-lock if I don't open the door after hitting unlock on the FOB occurs though. That's totally expected and normal. It's a safety mechanism for accidental FOB button pushes.
