Does anyone know if the CLA will be coming to us with stop/start technology? I know all the new BMWs are coming with stop start and the A-class has it...
The only reason i ask is because i reallyyyyyy dont like it. I test drove a 3 series earlier this month with stop/start and it was so delayed it was a borderline safety hazard. Waiting to make a left and stopped in the intersection the car cuts power during idle, so after all the heros made thier late yellows im left to make my left turn, foot on the gas, alas, latency! Now jsut as the power kicks back in the light has switched green for oncoming traffic and i need to put my foot through the floor to make it safely across....
BMW owners are howling, and BMW NA sent out a service bulletin to dealers allowing them to disable stop start at the customers request...
Plus i read this morning Hyundai is abandoning the technology becasue of its ineffectiveness....
