We had a rental car a couple of years ago that had the auto stop and
start feature. It was a Chevy Malibu if my memory serves to be correct.
It was actually very seamless. I didn't realize it was doing it for a
time. Stop at a light and the motor would shut off. Lift your foot off
the brake and it would start and be running ready to go before I had my
foot back on the gas pedal.
I see no point to it and assume it would put a lot of strain on various
components but I was amazed at how smooth it was. Of course, we are
talking about a new vehicle with hardly any miles on it. Who knows what
it would be like as it got older?
