A manual has the same lag, except you're coving it up by adding clutch lag instead.

- crote 4y agoThe clutch lag is there regardless of the auto stop/start, so adding auto stop/start does not introduce any additional lag.
- jedberg 4y agoExactly. That’s what I said.
- globular-toast 4y agoNot really. The start/stop system is only activated when the car is put into neutral. This is completely the driver's choice. Most drivers will shift into neutral when they anticipate a longer stop (like when they've just seen the light change red or they've pulled over to take a phone call) and then shift back into gear when they anticipate movement. It's rare to be caught "out of gear" and would generally only happen when the driver isn't paying attention. Nobody shifts into neutral every time the car comes to a complete stop like at a give way sign or in a queue.
