surprised to see so much venom towards it, saving fuel etc is always good! must admit it became a little annoying when i went to Glasgow and got caught in the rush hour, edging forward a 1/4 car length at a time, but generally i appreciate it.
I am as well, it seems to be really hated (and not just on here), a real marmite bit of technology.
Reading through some comments, I wondering if I don't have any issues with it as my car is a manual...this means I can control it very easily...
like you say above, when I'm in annoying stop/start slow moving traffic, I just keep the clutch depressed... if I see I'll be sitting for a bit longer, pop into neutral and off the clutch... simple really.... the system works for me, when I want it to.
for the auto people:
I thought with the autos, you have to really push on the brake to get it working? i.e. you can sit in traffic, with a light brake and it won't shut the car off? so you need to press the brake right down to get the system to kick in?
also... what happens when you're at lights, leave the car in drive, put the handbrake on, and take your foot off the brake?? does that turn the car off, or hold it sitting like a normal auto car does (or should... not many auto drivers seem to do this, prefer to sit with their ****** foot on the brakes!! grrrr!!! lol )
