The biggest downside, and I'm sure we've all noticed it, is we only get 1 or 2 cars through each cycle of the traffic lights now  >:(

Another bloody retarded idea by those who should be shot to prevent further degradation of the gene pool.

A lot of that can be attributed to the lack of anticipating the change of lights  :y

As soon as I push the clutch down the engine starts and off you go I wouldn't say I am any slower away from the lights in any way

Yes, they are a lot more bearable with a 3 pedal gearbox!

The only car I've driven with it, is my mates Range Rover Sport as mentioned earlier and I found that it started effortlessly with only slight pressure on the throttle.  Any lag or delay was negligible, and it was just something to get used to.  :y 

or not, as I did disable it from time to time, especially in heavy traffic.  ::)

I`ve driven a pikey pick up with stop/start and found it ok, slightest prod of the clutch or throttle and it fires up and that was on devils juice, no idea if the economy is better though cos I don`t drive it often enough.
