Are engine stop-start systems the most retarded innovation ever?
>>
>>14106475
yes
i fucking hate push to start
>>
>>14106484
>>14106475
why? i don't have to fish around for my keys to get in, or to start the car.
>>
>>14106484
>>14106492
More referring to the auto engine stop and re-start when you come to a complete stop.
>>
>>14106492
yeah man lets just have the cars drive for us too right
do you love reverse cameras too
>>
>>14106519
i bet you "fucking hate" not having to crank-start your car as well, luddite pleb

No, they're good for emissions and saving a bit of fuel.

>not staying up to catch santa in the act
>>
>>14106475
I dislike button start altogether, even though it is a bit more convenient. There is nothing like turning a key.
>>
Just as a reminder, most cars made in recent years that still use keys are basically push buttons.
For exmaple, try flicking the key forward really fast, then pulling it back. It'll start as long as it reaches the start position for even a fraction of a second. It was just tricking you
>>
>>14106700
>implying it isn't fact
Yes.
>>
>>14106700
>pigskin detected

Wouldn't these automatic stop-start systems just burn out the starter motor and/or solenoid faster than usual? Just another way to force you into the stealership, unless these components were somehow actually engineered to handle it

The most retarded?
No, they are awesome and not even close to being the most retarded things.
>>
>>14109785
yes the starters are a lot beefier or upgraded to ISGs
>>
>>14106475
No. It's one of the best damn things ever.

>>14106475
My 67 bug had a push to start system, pretty fucking bad ass, especially after you flipped a switch to activate the button. Didnt have any keys though...
>>
>>14106475
How long do the starter motors last on a car with automatic stop-start?
>>
>>14109880
well the auto makers will tell you they're upgraded and designed to last as long as normal starters.
no one here will be able to prove anything else, apart from some examples of shit tier companies who didn't upgrade and are failing
>>
>>14106492
why don't you just have them ready like everybody else then?
>>
>>14109924
I don't know about him, but I'm better than everybody else.
>>
>>14109891
Starters usually aren't very expensive to replace, are they? Iv never had to replace a starter, oddly enough
>>
>>14110142
No they're pretty cheap but one in a stop start/mild hybrid car will be bigger and dearer as it's an ISG (integrated starter generator), and means you don't need an alternator

it's almost like cars are built with engineering
>>
>>14106475
Holy shit yes, I'm a valet and driving one of these through NYC for the first time scared the piss out of me because i didn't know it was a thing, thought the god damn car died on me
>>
>>14110265
>it's bad because I don't know about newer cars and it scared me when I was driving
>>
>>14110265
welp might as well can it. some thick anon got scared once, fuck the upsides
>>
>>14110272
>in the middle of NYC traffic lets leave our automatic turn off feature left on

Its just a bad idea, by the time it starts back up people have cut you off and you're stuck waiting again and while you're waiting it shuts the fuck off
>>
>>14110279
an intelligent person would figure out it takes 0.5 seconds to start and anticipate this
keep being scared of new things though
>>
>>14106615
Who gives a fuck about emissions.
I ain't the EPA
>>
>>14110296
This guy has never driven in the city before
>>
>>14110297
kek clearly Canada does because they're selling bottled air to China now
>>
>>14110297
I do, I like breathing clean air. It's fun.
>>
Anything that prevents this are good.

Too bad retards still slam their keys up behind the wheel without looking only to rip and tear the material there.

Saab have the best ignition position since you don't have a fuck ton of keys dangling on your knee and the forced reverse to eject keys prevents retards from leaving their car in neutral.
>>
>>14110528
whats wrong with leaving the car in neutral?
>>
>>14110563
If you have a crappy handbrake or forgetting to put in handbrake enough you'll probably know what happens.

>change batteries every 6 months? lol who cares petrol!!!!!!11111
>>
>>14110702
What are you talking about?
>>
>>14110716
hey man if you dont know how a car works then dont post
>>
>>14110724
Keys with C-locks = Battery
Keyless turd with Start button = Battery
You where saying?
>>
>>14110729
i said dont post
>>
>>14110731
Then say why we need to change battery every 6 months.
Every fucking non-stone age car have had batteries in them since the mid 90's.
>>
Nvm, you're just retarded and you'll just gonna post something retarded to save your sorry ass.
>>
>>14110734
i can see you are able to speak english, so this is probably bait
>>
>>14110724
I know exactly how a car works. I think it's you who doesn't. You also don't seem to know anything about batteries.
