Very happy with my new DSG Highline bluemotion.....but what a stupid combination having stop/start and auto hold. The idea of auto hold is that when you come to a stop you do not have to keep your foot on the brake to stop the car creeping forward, with the brake released when you push the accelerator. With the stop/start on the DSG, when you come to a stop with the footbrake pressed, the engine turns off. As soon as you take your foot off the brake to take advantage of the auto hold (and stop dazzling the driver behind with brake lights, the engine immediately starts, even though you may not want to pull away for a couple of minutes.........absolutely bloody stupid. I appreciate both can be used independently, but they should be able to be used together. Does anyone know if the stop/start can be turned off completely? I know it can be turned off every time the car is started, but would prefer to disable it completely!!!
