Default Re: VW Passat Stop Start System!!

Those that hate on this system havent driven one or have driven an ex rental. They are smooth and flawless. I actually loved it on my little Skoda rental in Norway. At almost $3 a litre, every drop saved is a bonus! We are spoilt with cheap fuel compared to most of Europe (probably why they developed it before the yanks).

And I like to get off the line in a hurry and not once did it lag. Great system. It was -5 degrees so when the heating/AC started to struggle to keep heat, the car would fire up anyway if stopped for an extended period of time.

Once they start getting AC systems running similar to EPAS (well more commercially available), these systems wont have to start up even for the AC.
