This is my first car with S/S and after a few days of use it is mostly fine and works well. As pointed out before, you quickly learn to control it with the break peddle. However, I do have a couple of issues
The first is that my driveway is on a downhill slope, with a tight manoeuvre at the end. S/S makes it a pita if I forget to turn it off
The second is more of a worry. I was pulling in to a car park where you collect the ticket at the barrier on the way in. The machine is a little too far back from the kerb, so to protect the wheels, I always put in the hand break, take off the seatbelt and reach/hang out the window to get the ticket. S/S kicked in, but when I went to pull off it would not restart. After deciphering the usual helpful message in the dash, I had to out it in park, and turn the key off then on. Have since tested it again, and the same. I really don't like that
