I'm a bit surprised that other members find the Stop/Start feature a hassle.
In my normal driving mode, it almost never actuates, unless I brake to a stop heavily and even then the pedal pressure has to maintained, very much over what would be required, simply to hold the car stationary.
Of course, if you are stationary at traffic light for example, then the car should be in neutral, with the handbrake on, to avoid blinding the driver behind you.
