Do you know if the system will still work in that case, or does it need to see the clutch used before selecting neutral and stopping?

Just curious.
Habit dictates I use the pedal myself. I do sometimes coast in neutral when I can't reliably dictate the stop profile. Usually when I stop (foot on the brake) the stop-start kicks in.

If I get a chance I'll maybe see if I can test drive a Mirage with Stop-Start or at least see how it works. I have seen a few Mirages here but not a huge number - more VW UP! (and related models from SEAT/Skoda) and Aygo (related models from Peugeot/Citroen).
