I have been renting a lot of cars lately. The hybrids do the best job because hybrid. The gas cars can be hit or miss. A jeep renegade I rented did ok except that sometimes it would auto stop, sometimes it wouldn't. You had to be stopped and the. Push the brake a little harder to engage.

I have a Volvo and if you stop at a pace other than very gentle, it will shut off the engine before you've stopped moving. That one is annoying.

Got a newer Volvo as a loaner and the baby hybrid system in them is FAR better. You can't even really hear it start up. I believe it doesn't have a traditional starter, you hear almost nothing when you start it for the first time. It just kind of goes from being off to running without any sound or vibration. Very weird but kinda cool.

Each system is a little different, some are not very good, others you don't even notice.

That feature never affected my driving at all and never bothered me at all. In fact I don't think I ever remembered that it was a thing after the first week or two.

I bought a car in December that does this. Literally all you have to do is let off the brake wait half a second to 1 second and it starts right back up not a big deal. Just maybe you know have a slight bit of patience in your driving.

I haven't seen one where this can't be disabled as a setting. Assume you've checked? If not imagine someone has found a hack for this.

I'm guessing they have a bunch of oil squirters engineered into the design but seems to me that constantly letting oil drain into the crank case while sitting then firing up again is going to cause a short life for these engines.

I've only riden in two vehicles that have this idiotic feature but they could both be disabled after the initial startup.
