Few years ago, we got a long term rental due to a wreck, and it was the first time weâ(TM)d ever experienced it. It was the middle of winter, cold and snowy, and the colder it got, the longer it took for the starter to kick in when we would come to a stop. A few times Iâ(TM)d come to an intersection, try to accelerate to get through it, but the car would turn off the split second before I accelerated, and I would be terrified I was going to be hit because I wasnâ(TM)t used to having to think âoeok, when I accelerate to pull out I need 3 seconds lead time for the car to crankâ after 20 years of not having that in my muscle memory. Iâ(TM)m guessing theyâ(TM)re better now, the rental is probably driven hard and may be slower to crank than a normal consumer car, and it was frigid out, but with that being my only experience, I donâ(TM)t ever want that feature. I tried to find out if I could disable it but this particular model did not have that option.
