I am not sure if the like the new Auto Start Stop function. Is it really good for your engine to have it turn off every time I come to a stop? I know new BMWs, Porsches and Audi's all have it.
"A clever way to save fuel: the Auto Start Stop function turns off the engine each time the vehicle comes to a complete halt - such as at traffic lights - and restarts it automatically. A reduction in fuel consumption is the result.The principle is simple: if the engine is not running, it cannot consume fuel. The Auto Start Stop function turns off the engine whenever it is not needed. "

I love the idea, while visiting friends in Sweden our rental car did that, kinda scared me initially because I didn't even realize such a feature existed.
I'm sure the engineers have considered negative effects of its use.
