I appreciate every option my truck has other than push button start. Problems I have with it are:

Poor battery life;
I sometimes forget the fob in the truck;
I've driven up to my house with the fob in my coat pocket and left the truck running while I quickly ran into the house to get something. I came back without my coat on, jumped in the truck and drove into town. When I shut the truck off it said "restart immediately or key will be required". I didn't have time to go home so I ended up asking my wife to deliver my key fob to me;
If it were a zero dollar option I definitely wouldn't take it.

I have two vehicles with push button start. The Kia is almost obnoxious about making sure that you have a fob with you and not locked in the car. It is a 2011 model and I have replaced the fob battery once. The Ford also notifies me immediately about no fob in the vehicle and it is nearly 3 years old with the fob battery still going strong so no concern there either way. I do wonder what would happen if the fob got really wet or damaged somehow. The only actual issue that I have had is our luggage was stolen on a trip once with the Kia fob in it and a replacement fob was $500 plus a special trip to the dealer. Ouch! Fortunately, the other fob was safe and available to us.
