My company leases cars for us to drive the heck out of. Good news: I get to order a new work car. Bad news: I live in my car during the week and I'm freaked out that this start stop technology is going to annoy the crap out of me in traffic. The car is a 2018 GMC Terrain SLT 1.5 turbo. I might have found one to test drive, but the answers from GMA dealers and online at their HQ are all over the place as to if I can temporarily or permanantly disable the feature. Do any of you guys habe experience with this feature?

Good news. I got to drive a 2018 Terrain with the auto stop start. Unless your looking at the tachometer it is undetectable. I had found out about a possible way to defeat thesystem too. There is no way to switch the system off, but if you put the automatic trans into the manual shifting mode and select the top gear (6) the car will not shut off at a stop! The trans will still do the shifting as well. The 1.5L turbo had good acceleration with 203# ft of torque. The 2.0L turbo was quick with 260#!
