I drove a Scota Superb in Ireland with that feature in it. (Horrible car overall but that is another thread) It was a 4cyl turbo diesel with a 6 speed manual. I have heard cars next to me at red lights with it in the states with the engine stop, when this thing shut off the first time, I looked down to see if something was being indicated as wrong on the dash and it was functioning properly so I just assumed we had the engine stop feature.

I guess because I was in a strange car in a strange place it was the least of my worries, so it did not bother me.

One cool feature I did like, I stalled it once in a parking garage, I pushed the clutch in real fast and reached for the ignition and it was already restarting the engine. I thought that was pretty slick.
