2007 Saturn Aura XR: Fob Fiddling



Remote start.

Sorry, but this has to be the most utterly useless thing I've seen on a car in a long time. It ranks right up there with automatic headlights, rain sensing wipers and those vented seats that suck the flatulence out of your seat and blow it onto the backseat passengers. Actually, scratch that last one, that's worth something...
Here in Southern California, the only time you're likely to use this little gadget is standing in a parking lot, showing off to your friend/spouse/life partner. Instead of looking like the coolest guy in the parking lot, unbeknownst to you, you'll look like a total stroke.

Useful car. Useless gadget.
