As I said in a previous thread on the same topic:
On the CVT I don't like the fact that you can't go into neutral at the lights without the engine coming back on. At a longer stop I find the tension in the old right leg being kept on the brake is, quite literally, a pain. In a manual car, it's into neutral, handbrake on, feet off the pedals. Impossible to do this in a CVT with start/stop.

Not that it helps you much, but on the 2019 HR-V they have changed it.  If you have "Brake Hold" switched on then you can gently brake to a stop to engage it, once engaged, you can take your foot off the brake.  Further pressure on the foot brake when you come to a stop will activate the auto-stop.  Again you can remove your foot from the peddle and it will stay activated.  Hopefully this will find it's way to the Jazz before too long.

The downside, as far as other motorists are concerned, is that the brake lights stay on.
