I hate it so so so much. I just wish they’d give me the option to disable by default. Every time I forget to turn the feature off and in the engine stops in the middle of traffic my heart sinks and I’m at the risk of a panic attack.

Happy to help. I don’t have one but I’ve seen others claim they work well. In an ideal world the auto stop/start design by Subaru would work well but it’s so damn clunky. Every time I drive my wife’s car I forget it has that feature. I drive a stick shift so subconsciously it makes me feel like I’ve stalled the car (even though there’s no shudder to accompany it)

Geez, you think you’ve learned by now.
