Thanks for posting,after reading it i have a question: i always thought it is almost impossible to lock the key in the vehicle while it is running,mine is 2004 and i don't think it can be done that easily,maybe they changed something for MY2005?

Yeah I agree with the negative comments on the shifter. It is too rubbery...thats the reason why I changed to a short shifter and the clutch pedal is too light. Easy to drive, but not meant to be driven hard...good car nonetheless...
