The first time I ever drove a car with start/stop it was a rental and I had no idea such a thing existed until I was in the typical massive traffic on the George Washington bridge and the stupid thing kept shutting off. This has to be one of the all time stupidest things ever inflicted on the public. Sure the car starts right up, usually. But what if it doesn't or what happens when the car has 85000 miles on it and is a little tired and takes a few cranks to start?
The second worst thing is the keyless start. Is it really that hard to put in the key and turn it on? I don't know how many times I have walked away and left the car running. The key got locked inside once and another time I left the car running on purpose because it was cold and my mom was in the car but apparently it shuts off if the key gets out of range.
No thanks to any of this crap.
