Only minor dislike is when you stop, you must keep your foot on the brake otherwise it comes out of auto stop mode and restarts the engine. Otherwise very happy with it.

If you're used to automatics, then keeping your foot on the footbrake is the norm anyway, as if you don't the automatic creep mode designed for when in slow moving traffic will move the car forward.
