Do you use the start/stop engine feature?

I think it may be the other way around re the fenders...at least when I was researching the Alfa 4C, they had relatively 'hideous' fender bulges for the US version.

Only time I use it is when I'm stopped at a draw bridge. But even then I still don't use it))

I think it is safe to say that the Start/Stop feature is for the people that do not use this forum.

I use it in moderate traffic. Definitely saves a bit of fuel.

What I cannot stand is the function that starts the motor automatically based on the traffic light signals.

I'd like to turn it off if possible, but I can't be bothered searching through the endless fucking menus.

If anything tempts me to go back to an older car it is the tech faff overload.

More of an average than an absolute.

I do not feel that reflects positively on the forum, TBH. I think some of it is snobbery or misguided purity

... on average, not an absolute, of course.
