I’ve driven Mercedes, Audi and BMW diesels with stop/start as company cars in Germany for years. It doesn’t bother me there but I wouldn’t want it for my own car. Starting the engine is when most wear happens so how does this affect it?

FYI- I’ve noticed that slightly backing off the brakes just before it comes to a stop tricks it into continuing to run. The fuel economy is excellent too.
