Just out of interest, how much wear on the battery does the stop/start system in hybrid mode create? I'm assuming that it runs off the lead-acid battery not the lithium drive one?
Reason for asking - I used to have a Ford Kuga and had had to replace the battery after it died suddenly at only about two years old. A mechanic who came to my rescue told me that I should switch off the stop/start because it wears batteries out! So I did.
