But does he stop it at every intersection and restart it? :P Even if it's less a durability issue, I drove a Saturn Vue greenline and liked how quickly and quietly it whipped the engine back on once I took my foot off the brake... grinding my otherwise older but efficient car for 12 seconds at every light i'd rather avoid. I'd like to swap that onto something if I could. Plus it's potentially a 13hp hybrid power boost under full throttle, which could matter for seriously underpowered and overgeared engines, especially the way electric motors have more torque at slow speeds.
