First of all cars are extremely expensive here in Denmark. The Mercedes GLC 300 starts at about 110.000 USD with no options. So I would like to keep it for 8-10 years or 120k-150k miles. I drive about 16 miles each way to and from work for about 200 days a year. My 335i N55 barely reaches optimal work temperature during those trips and the stop/start would normally be activated 15 times per trip. So I would basically have 15*2*200=6000 cold starts. Therefore I have disabled auto stop/start in my current car and that’s why I am worried about any system that turns off/on the combustion engine.
