I drive a 21 year old Saab, it has remote entry, a manual transmission and a ignition key location that will confound any would be car thief...the best of all worlds, and yes holding the fob under my chin increases remote range.

First time I drove a Saab it took me 15 minutes to figure out where the ignition switch was...

Last Saab I drove was a 1963, model 96. Loved the ride.

A friend had a really sweet Saab 900. Introduced me to heated seats in the winter which were unimaginable luxury at the time.

Around the same time we had an old '75 Pugeot 504 sedan that we thought was the height of luxury. (looked just like this, except it was green https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeo...muiden_(2).jpg ) Front seats, if you puled out the headrest folded all the way back to meet up with the back seat to make a comfy bed. Also the only power windows I've ever seen that had a manual back up. There was a little plastic plug where the crank handle would have been, and the car came with a little t-handled took that fit on the splined shaft so you could crank the window open or shut if you had no power.

That was a true touring sedan.

I had a 1985 Peugeot 505 turbo, the most amazing leather seats and surprisingly fast for a 200 h.p. car...tonnes of torque once the thing (eventually) spooled up.

Like Saabs, Peugeots have a number of "features" that are sometimes referred to as 'easter eggs' because so many people stumble upon them not knowing they exist.
