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?

I wonder how long the starter lasts on the car and costs to replace vs the increase in fuel economy.

I wonder how long the starter lasts on the car and costs to replace vs the increase in fuel economy. I don't know about the 4 bangers, but I think the 6 and for sure the 8 cylinders don't use the starter to start the engine again. There are enough cylinders in the engine that one will be at a compression phase and the engine is restarted just by a spark. I got used to it really quick and like the feature in stop-and-go traffic. |
