I will never buy a vehicle that shuts off the engine at idle. It is the dumbest most annoying misfeature ever.

- mock-possum 3y agoWhy?
- timtom39 3y agoIt is not a feature it was forced down by the EPA :/ I have such an SUV and a $20 part wired into the fuse box fixes it.
- rokkitmensch 3y agoTechnically not forced by the EPA, strictly speaking optional with the caveat that if you claim a MPG rating for a car, (I believe) it must be enabled every vehicle start.
- gambiting 3y agoThat's such a weird hill to die on. It's literally not a problem for any competent driver, not to mention that in modern cars this is completely solved by the addition of electric motors on the drivetrain so there is literally no delay whatsoever. Calling it the "dumbest most annoying" feature when touchscreens in cars exist is just weird.
- rokkitmensch 3y agoJust scour the market for the two manual models that are left, I'm pretty sure this feature won't show up on standards for several years yet.
