Re: How Do Automakers Prevent Engine Wear With Auto Start-Stop Technology?
Great question Adrian. I've had a car with start-stop for about 5 years now and haven't experienced any premature wear. The key is that modern starters are rated for much higher cycle counts. Manufacturers test this extensively before releasing the technology.

Re: How Do Automakers Prevent Engine Wear With Auto Start-Stop Technology?
Most modern vehicles do let you disable it with a button. But if you're constantly disabling it, you're defeating the purpose and just dealing with the added weight and complexity without any benefit. Better to let it do its job.
