Its my wifes car. on more than one occasion i have driven it, and dropped her off at one store and i drove to another. Once i got out, guess what? She has the fob, i can't get in it, or start it, and we are in 2 different places.Phone is in the car charging.
Would never happen with a key in the ignition. Also if you are standing next to the car , someone can open the door on the opposite side, not good at night. But the first situation is the main one. I don't have room on my keyring for the big mazda fob, and i rarely drive it.
