Don't Have Keyless Entry.

It's getting to the point where I don't think I'll ever buy a car made after the early 2010s.

On my Toyota Prius, it's possible to turn off the keyless entry system in the car's settings IIRC. You'd then have to use the removable key in the fob to open the driver's door.

people have been stealing cars since cars were invented; avoiding keyless entry doesn't exactly immunize you.
