Would you rather have the key out of the way in the console, or right infront of the soft tissue above and below the knee cap in the even of a frontal collision?

Also in these days of car jacking, and stuff, it stops someone reaching through an open window, and grabbing your keys before you can close it. -- The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
