I'm considering buying a Vauxhall Mokka and I've heard that the start-stop system can negatively impact the engine's performance. Is it true?
ReplyThe start-stop system in the Vauxhall Mokka is designed to save fuel by automatically turning off the engine when the car is at a complete stop. While this may seem like a good feature, it can indeed affect the engine's performance. When the system starts the engine again, it puts extra strain on the starter motor and battery, which can lead to premature wear and tear. To avoid this, I would suggest using the system sparingly and turning it off if you are in heavy traffic or driving in extreme weather conditions.
I've been driving a Vauxhall Mokka with the start-stop system for a few years now and I've never had any issues with the engine's performance. In fact, I've noticed significant fuel savings thanks to the system. However, it's important to keep in mind that the system works best in city driving where there are frequent stops. If you primarily drive on highways, the start-stop system may not be as effective and can even cause unnecessary strain on the engine. So consider your driving habits before making a decision.
