Hi, I'm looking to buy a early 2013 VW Golf 1.4 TSI ACT GT, I understand the ACT switches the engine into two cylinder mode when it's not in heavy use but I am wondering how this affects the vehicles reliability? Does anyone have any experiences with this engine? Would you recommend it? My alternative would be the 122 TSI SE.

Also, I'm not sure if this is a Stop / Start model (as I understand that is a optional extra), I've always been a bit sceptical about stop / start so would prefer not to have that. Does anyone know if stop / start is a standard feature in the ACT GT?
