I am no stranger to Start Stop having had it on 4 previous cars.....some of the time I would disable it while other times I would let it do its thing.....the good thing was the activation was easily controllable on a manual car and was no problem.
This is my first experience of the system with an automatic, and in my opinion the activation point is completely ridiculous!
You can have a situation where you are stopping to immediately go into reverse, but as soon as the wheels stop turning with your foot on the brake the engine cuts out.
Surely it would make much more sense for the system to activate when you shifted into neutral and took your foot off the brake....similar to how a manual works when lifting the clutch.
I now always try to remember to press the disable button every time I start the engine, but sometimes I forget and am reminded with my engine stopping when I don't want it to.
I can understand why so many people want to permanently disable Start Stop on their cars.
