i was given a Mk8 Golf last month as a hire car for the day.
Infotainment system and all menus for other controls were an absolute nightmare, not to mention a distraction from keeping your eyes on the road.
Every other car I've had with stop/start, there is a button somewhere obvious, which is either on the dash or centre console to turn it off/on.
It was in a hidden menu in the infotainment system screen.
Same with the lane departure warning. That's the first thing I turn off as I cannot stand the forced feedback through the steering wheel when the car think I am not in the correct place on the road.
This function was hidden in the speedo display menu and had to be turned off using the steering wheel controls. Why not have a visible button like every other car to turn on/off?
Every other car I've been in, once switched off, that's it. It remains switched off. The Golf Mk8 defaults to it being switched back on again every time you unlock and get in the car. And then you have to remember how to switch it off again - Grrrrr
