Turning car off at stoplights

A lot of cars do that now automagically. Most people I know who have that "feature", hate it.

:agree:
Have it on mine. No problems. Also shuts off in drive thru lines and pulling in to park. It does take a second to get used to. You drive just a bit different when coming to lights so you don’t actually come to a complete stop. It’s weird to drive a car without it now. Same with auto brake hold. My car has it, wife’s doesn’t. Have to watch myself when stopping at a light — in my car I take my foot off the brake… can’t do that in hers.
My wife's last two cars have had it. The older started right up when it was time to go. The newer one (same model car, newer year with redesigned engine) takes a couple seconds, which is annoying. Also, in the older car, this was an option that you turned on. In the newer model, it is now automatically set to do this, and you have the option to turn it off.
