Smile AUTOSTOP kills the legal stops,

in my intention of don't let the autoStop happen, I release the brake before AS occurs and I never stop there's a lot of stops signs in my city, is there a way in the configuration to let it happen until the car really stops. not going at 3 miles per hour... I override this by putting on (s) mode before stops but I hate to drive it like a manual transmission, I have auto other question..!.. when AUTOSTOP enters how many seconds are a gain and not a lost? talking about saving gas

Unless you are prepared to buy something from Ferrari or Porsche, don't look for a lot of "spirited performance" from a hybrid.

jeje alter EGO,, adrenaline is adictive
haha spirited for me is someone who post love their car and knows about it and share emotions and info. if Iwant something to show my ego Id buy a lexus, cannot afford it. but here comes the question we drive green cars for the planet, because the money, because is cool? because what? cause an hybrid cost 6000 Dlls more than other faster car when new..
sometimes that money cannot be recovered in 6 years.. for me has been good investment 7650 Dlls for a civic 2006 with 43000 miles ... by the way mustang was my first car, not too cool for me now. even I respect that those muscle cars are legendary..

I'm just trying to figure out why the car AUTOSTOP before stops there must be a delay, forced stop sign is stop and go. not a red light where that function is very useful

I agree the autostop delay should be set to something around 5 to 8 seconds to prevent what you are experiencing.
