I drove a 20mile (2 x 10miles) round trip today in the default Comfort mode. The start/stop was active within a few hundred metres, certainly less than half a mile. It continued to be active at both ends of the short motorway journey. As expected.

Do you use the default comfort mode? Or switch to Dynamic, which disables stop/start.

Installing a tracker, there are many companies offering the service, involves a cost to buy and usually a subscription.

The car has very sharp plastic edges in places. Bottom of door, door frame, edges of rear lights. Poor quality plastic moulds and processes. Never had anything as poor quality as this in my previous car (VW Golf). Passenger cut her calf on the door's sharp point getting out of the car the other day.

As someone who has driven automatics for years I found it initially disconcerting not to have the “creep” when releasing the foot brake. So for me its default position is off. But in traffic or for things like waiting at a level crossing I find it, in combination with stop-start, helpful as it enab...
