I carry 4 ordinary keys on the same ring that the car key is on. The car key + remote takes up way more room in my pocket than the other 4 stacked up. Very noticeable change vs. the previous car.

This is the first car I've owned that came with an "oversize" key, with the giant plastic handle. Also the first car that came with a remote control.

It bugs me that the car keys are so bulky, but I haven't found a workaround yet. I might ditch the remote but then I'd still have the giant ignition key to deal with.

I have a 2004, so I imagine the keys are different, but I use what the manual refers to as the "submaster" key. It's all metal and is much smaller than the rubberized one. I really hate carrying the remote too, but it beats using a key at night.

Might not be an option with the 2006 because they keys could be chipped for that year...I'm not sure.

Only two keys (LLB & House). I hate carrying around a lot of stuff in my pockets. I try to buy the thinnest phone possible and my wallet only has a CC, DC, and DL in it.
