I want everything to be handed to me like that.

Hmm I ordered one of these flip keys on ebay not realising the GTS doesnt need a flip key. I'll probably put it back on ebay when it arrives.

ditto on the panic button, I definitely only use it as a car finder feature since amongst the hoards of SUVs its sometimes daunting to find smaller cars.

I interpret the key as being in keeping with the back-to-basics spirit of the cars.
