Why do you care if your car is keyless, you can get nissan micras with keyless entry 

Key in, twist, clutch down and start. Not hard.

It's for people who cannot use their thumb and index finger together or adequately or for those who are thumbless.

If your wife drives the car all she needs is the fob in her purse it senses her unlocks the doors when she touches the handle and then all you do is press the start button.
I had it in my Lexus IS350 and really miss it . No keys to stab you if your hands are full no worries.

I think its really neat... however, I don't think my Mk6 coming in late August/early September will feature this, because the car has probably been stood in a warehouse Jeddah for 6 months or so

I wish that'd been available when I bought my car!
I'd quite like the keyless entry - as long as it wasn't an expensive option.
I wonder if it will actually come to the UK, or be one of these things that we don't get.

I agree though - it does look a bit like an afterthought... although technically it is!  They've just stuck a button where the lock barrel should be!

I think its a great idea having it where the barrel should be as, I had a BMW 118d as a hire car the other daily stalled it (clutch was massively heavy compared to the Golf) and went for the keys in a panic wheres the keys, oh keck the button is on the left of the steering wheel.  What a keck idea.

New dials at night..

Hmm, not sure about the red around the dials, quite like it without, wonder if my GTD will have those?

The keyless entry/start is handy - with my current X-Trail, there's been many a time where I've come back from a business trip away with my keys somewhere in my briefcase/backpack and rather than dig them out, I can just get in the car sling the bag into the passenger seat and and start the engine.  That said, it's not something I'd pay extra for (just happened to be included as standard) - it's handy but by no means essential.

I like my key as I can use it as a weapon to protect myself with when the need arises.

mine likes to flick open in my pocket
