The stop/start is barely noticed compared to my wife's Polo and my brothers golf. Engine is refined and smooth. Was just enjoying cruising along that it reminded me of driving the hybrid Lexus, so quiet when foot is off the accelerator and doing 50-60kms per hour. Haven't tried it in sports mode yet as it's only got 55kms on the clock after today. But overall great package. Loved showing off the headlights and turning lights, but my favourite feature would have to be the boot. One swipe of the foot and it opens with ease. Read on other forums that people had trouble as well as reviewers having trouble. Found it easy and worked every time today ( five occasions)
