I wonder how Ford managed the vibration -- the 2014 Mirages were paint shakers! Particularly the CVT model in gear when stopped. (They improved it for 2015 and then further for 2017.)

Assuming deactivation only happens when in motion, it shouldn't be too bad. (Says the guy with an 18 year-old Firefly 1.0.)
