Great numbers!! If only my SW was that small...

I read a review of the Eco-Fabia and it has an auto start-stop feature, present in almost all eco-versions of most cars in Europe. It turns the engine off when the car is stopped and the gear is in neutral, quickly starts when put in gear. Unfortunately, the start-stop function in the Fabia would turn the engine back on after 40 seconds of waiting. Kinda dumb (some lights can stay red for over 90 seconds), but I guess they have their reasons. I hope they've changed that.

What are your plans for the Xantia?
