Had a 2014 recently and also found the start/stop feature intrusive. I didn't like that when the light turned green there was a slight pause for the engine to start. A way around this is to lift off the brake a titch to get the engine going--too much fiddling for my liking. In stop and go traffic I found the transmission to be a wee bit jumpy, and I also didn't care for the low side wall tires. I was driving on pot-holed streets and felt every bump. Tires like that are great in hard driving but don't give the best ride. Overall, I did enjoy this car quite a bit as I normally drive a 4Runner and the ride is considerably different. Nice to have a change sometimes.
