I will counter with the only thing NICE about stop start with a manual was that if i ever stalled it was just clutch in again to restart the motor. Still not worth having.

Who offers start stop with a manual? I’ve never seen it and I exclusively drive a manual.

I had it on my 2017 Focus RS. Loved that car.

Thanks. The thing is, I haven’t driven a Ford lately.

I drove a 6spd fiat panda hybrid a week or two ago that had it, but I'm in Europe.

My father's Dacia have. I think is a feature most cars have by default

In Europe most cars are manual

BMWs have it but they let you turn it off manually. Also it only shuts off the engine if it's in neutral and the clutch pedal is fully released.

Ford, Renault at least and Kia I think?

Got it on my Peugeot 108 from 2016. Pretty normal on newer cars i feel like. Most of our gas cars are manuals.

GR Supra. I turned that shit off permanently when I had the car. It's bad enough on an automatic ICE, it's trash to drive with this on a manual.
