Interesting read this one. Only just saw this.
I've never been a fan of Honda Stop Start.
In the auto Hybrid, (Insight), if you are in drive, and the foot is on the brake and you stop. It will turn off.
However, this is why I don't like it. If you release the brake, and your on a hill, you will start to role, and the engine doesn't kick in. So you free falling in an auto. But just hit the accelerate and it's back on.
On manuals, I always turn it off as about 20 times to date it's failed on me when I've put the clutch back down. Always when it's super busy and it makes me look like a retard.
The worst by far though IMO is the new Range Rover Sports. Sat at the traffic lights with my foot on the accelerator for a good 5 seconds before it worked. Not sure if it was dodgy model.
Think I'm going to just get into the habit of, hit start engine, hit turn off stop start.
