Auto Start Stop

Does anyone use this feature either in the city on on the highway or both?
If so do your think it puts additional stresses on the battery and starter motor vs the tiny amount of gas you will save?

as soon as I start the car it goes in sport mode... that solves that. If I need to be quiet I'll put it back to D but I'll deactivate it, always. I don't trust it not putting strain on starter, plugs, etc.

I second the switch to sport mode upon start.
I will never be convinced that the repeated stop/start cycles don't affect component longevity.
Stop/start works great on hybrids, they have a more robust electrical component system.

Used it for about 1.5 years pretty much consistently. One day I turned off the car to get gas, car never turned over. Battery was dead and they had to replace the alternator. I don't know if *** had anything to do with it, but never used it again.

I guess its only common sense that the more you use the starter the more wear and stress you are putting on it and the battery.
Maybe Porsche just put these systems in to make their emissions data look better...

I might use it as my "eco-mode" on the highway, but never during regular driving. I don't need the additional wear and tear on the starter.

I turn the menettino to Sport immediately upon start up. Every time. I can’t see how auto start stop can’t be hard on the car in way or another. Battery. Starter, my mental sanity.

So do I...I thought you had figured something out that was truly permanent where as is it is off when one starts the car. Cobb, are you listening?! Might be a nice feature for your next update (along with starting in the same mode as what was on when the car was turned off).
