I hate the auto stop/start feature. I should be able to shut it off for as long as I own my new Outback. I do not live in a congested area nor in an area with a lot of traffic lights, so when I have forgotten to turn the feature off when I get into my car, I freak out when I do come across a red light and the car dies. In addition, I doubt that the amount of emissions it saves is really enough to move the meter. Also, Subaru should instruct all their dealers not to mislead their customers when they are asked it that particular feature can be turned off - regrettably, I did not include the word "permanently." I owned 3 Ascents prior to this purchase and now wish I had purchased a 4th.
