My keys spend much of thier life here. Your method is going to screw me over frequently No, because there's key in sight. Pay attention. So it is not going to auto-lock. Besides, does your key inside the car mean that you never lock it?

It's easier then that. After last door is closed with engine off, lock the whole thing. Key or no key on sight. You may give it few seconds. I just don't know what for.

Well then, you keep your car unlocked. Many ways to do it. But the feature's name is auto-LOCK.

Nice feature, just somewhat flawed design.

I still don't get a point of the key being required to LOCK. Forget unlocking or driving off with no key. Close your trunk/boot. Do whatever else you need. But if there is no key around, and all doors are closed, the car must be shut.

Ok, I guess our car is slightly different. So why do you have to get to the driver's door to get it to locked in your case? You do whatever you have to at the trunk or rear door. Then you step away. No key in sight, and the car does what? Nothing? Should be locked as soon as you close either door.

It locks as soon as you get to rear door anyway, so this scenario is not applicable. If you have to do your business in the rear seat frequently, the existing design doesn't work anyway. Besides, in this case you still have your key present, don't you? So, anything else?

Well, in this case if the vehicle doesn't know what to do and there's nobody around to help, would it not be more logical to lock a hell out of everything, sit tight and pretend you're not a car at all?

Once you are by the rear door, it will lock regardless. Or by the hood, and so on. Better to leave the key inside.

Ok, I get the technicalities, I'm electronic engineer by education. I'm jus wonder why. Why the signal from the key is necessary to make a lock decision?

So, I'd ask this again, can anyone produce a use case for the above scenario? When the car does not lock itself if there is no key in range when the door closes? Why would the key be involved in auto-LOCKING the doors?

Paid ad? I wonder why would they not include Corvette, Camaro and Mustang for the good measure? Would have been even more fun... Except for the Jeep, none of these cars were intended for the trail anyway. So what was the point again making ground clearance and interior goodies the criteria for...

And you had to ruin it, eh...

Yeah, I see you that too! It was bigger in the first picture, but evidently hadn't been taken out completely during the wash...

It doesn't, and you're right. GM, after years of fixed 4-cylinder deactivation on V8, only now introduces new and improved Skip Fire system by Delphi. The engine can run on 1 cylinder, if needed, up to 8. Different cylinders are fired next ignition cycle. No, Mazda uses traditional technology of...

Yep, look for the clutch duty cycle. Divide by two, and you get a percentage of the power delivered to the rear axle.

I don't think you'll spend more on maintenance then on any other brand of comparable car. You need synthetic oil across the board anyway with DI engines. Mazda has one of the best AWD systems in business. Being from Canada, I can assure you that with good winter tires the car is unstoppable. I...

Wide hitch step, perhaps a folding one? Needs a hitch though...

Dude, did you have anything to say or?...

Not if there is second key present, especially if it has just being used to unlock all doors. In this case it should leave everything as is- neither lock, nor unlock, as it does. But to give warning like that is unnecessary. The usual unlock beep is just fine.
