My 52 Buick had a push button start and I didn't mind it. My '51 chevy has the starter button on the floor. My new Mazda has a push button start which works a lot like the one in the Buick. The only difference that I can see is, if the Buick's messed up, a replacement was about 2 bucks. I hate to think what the Mazda's would be. Mazda has an electric parking brake; so does my 32 year old F800. I'm pretty sure they work a little differently though. GD
