After more than two years of automatically, disabling auto stop. Frankly, I couldn't remember, just, why I did it.
So, this morning we drove our usual journey to the shops, and back. Apart from a momentary stop/ start, in the car park, all was normal.
This afternoon we did the same thing. Different shops, the other direction.
All was normal, until a mile from home. An uphill right turn across approaching traffic. Unknown to me, the engine was stopped, adding another 1/2 second to the already slow acceleration time! No problem. But unsettling.
It works so rarely, it catches me out...... That's why I don't like it!
I live in a rural location, with little traffic. Rarely do any town driving. Never, any city driving.
If the car is at a standstill, the handbrake is applied. Always has been, for the past 55 yrs.
My driving style is not compatible with stop/ start. Nothing to do with, "wearing it out".
Incidentally.
Seaside trip, tomorrow. 90mins motorway, there and back. Not much scope for stop/ start there, either!
