My 991.1 has it... It's permanently off thankfully.. Side benefit of the feature is (even when off) it'll restart the car real fast real smoothly if you accidentally stalled ;-) never happened, who, me ?

My Wife's audi has it too, it is however not defeatable like in my Porsche. Therefore she drives in S mode all the time to disable it, which is actually worse on MPG.. talk about an annoying feature producing opposite results !

I asked the dealer if they are starting to replace starters or seeing engine issues, he swears not, but it's only been out of a couple years as an undefeatable feature, so logic tells me it'll hurt the engine/cost a new starter down the road. Most damage being done at startup...
