Ive never seen a car that only has one key, that works in both the door locks and for the ignition....my friends and myself have always had 2 keys...

Really? Cool...I never use the key for the doors anyway...the remote for the alarm's is good for unlock/lock/open trunk so its pretty nice. Every single car I have and hav owned have had different keys....is it a Canadian thing?

On my GM I have 2 different keys. The ignition key has a little black chip thing on it, anti-theft thing - if anyone tries to stick a different key in there...the computer shuts the car down for 24hrs. A good/bad feature. There is no way that key would stick in the door lock. Thats werid - we cant seem to get a consensious(for companies) because Mike's old Accord had one key, and the other guys new one has only one....weird.

Ive only got one key for my car, by I use the keyless entry for the locks. Keeps things simple.

My geo metro key opens all of them doors hatch ignition now they are making one key more often more simple i think
