I try not to use it when the engine is cold / below 90 degrees C.
But... with the CP, exhaust sounds great when starting on at every traffic light, nevertheless. |

I wanted to like the feature...but I'm on the fence. About 75% of the time the engine cuts out when I don't want it to (intersections!!!) - I never seem to get the "brake tap" thing right in order to temp disable it...so I end up pushing the button to turn it off.

I never use Start/Stop and I do a helluvalot of town driving. It's no big deal to disable it manually, but it would be good if the default was for it to be 'off'. I'm sure it would save loads of fuel if enabled in really bad London traffic, but I just don't want to damage the car's components (starter and battery) and I'm sure that it can't do it any good to keep cutting out and re-starting.
