Using key for opening trunk is old age, no new cars have that anymore... You would actually preffer for trunk not to be opened via remote, but manually? lol

The fact that you are used to obsolete does not mean that progress should stop. It is certainly not an security risk as suggested since when your doors are unlocked, someone can enter your front door which is certainly more of an risk,,,

I don't see what thebig deal is my Matrix doesn't have a key hole on the Hatch either, like someone else said most of the newer cars don't have them. If you lock your doors when you drive the trunk is locked too!

There's also the issue if you battery dies, you won't be able to open the trunk since it’s electronically operated, but I think this issue was covered before.

Maybe I'm unsure of what you're worried about? If the car is unlocked, the trunk is unlocked BUT so are the doors. Are you also concerned with someone walking up and popping the door open? Do you mean while you are in it or if you don't lock it and walk away?
Just get used to using the keyless... Embrace new technology... Squeeze key fob button, squeeze handle...

I'd have liked it if there was latch inside by the seat so I could open my hatch manually I don't think I want my trunk opened everytime I want to get in my car. You might call it obsolete but fortunately your opinion is your own. I rather be able to open my car both ways. If you think that's retarded spywolf then you must have spent too much time in special ed. by the way Spywolf, I wasn't completely serious about the statement about some one jumping in with a shot gun it was just an attempt at humor a sense that an oaf like you obvioulsy lacks.
