I hate start/stop. I turn it off. When I forget, I always notice a lag in the power steering being powered on. They also claim it won't shut off in the winter when the car is cold. They lie. It does. This feature came into play because a former administration imposed gas mileage limits. This was a cheat by the car companies to achieve them.

As far as turbos. I've had two trucks with turbos. I was really worried about going form a V8 to a turbo charged motor. I tow often. Happy to report that I've had no issues and I get better gas mileage and more torque than I had with my V8.
