Purchased used with 250 miles on the clock. So could depend on how long it has been standing.

Can also depend on how many thing you have on and outside temperature.

due to the charging strategy the battery may never drag itself up to the threshold of 80% charged for the stop start to work , an overnight charge would be needed then ..

Well, today the stop/start worked like a charm. I will keep an eye on the system, whilst recognising there are no perfect stop/start system around yet!

As for the optional extras being gimmicks, normally I would agree. But I simply love the adaptive cruise control system! I hope I do not need to use the other safety features as part of the drivers support pack but there are some pretty impressive safety features.

I still can't get used to how cramp it is though. With the seats at their lowest, the low roof is messing my hair up...
