I read somewhere that there are plenty of cons to the auto-stop/start feature of the Chevy Colorado, like slow response time and making the wearing process faster for the battery and starter.

With that, I'm curious what you guys think.

Is it a YES as in do you let the auto-stop/start feature be? (If this one can you kindly let me know
Or NO as in do you switch it off?

yes and no. it could be better.. bugs me when i use the turn signal but thats abouy it
 
no its a pain in the ass and you wont care about the fuel consumption and all that good stuff when you consider you need to get an agm battery and the starter will need to work hard in start stop traffic

Honestly, I'm in the NO camp, I switch it off every time, the delay when you're trying to take off at a light just bugs me, especially in traffic. Plus, I do believe it adds extra wear on the starter and battery long term. I get that it's for fuel economy, but the savings feel minimal compared to the annoyance, if GM gave us a way to disable it permanently, I'd be all over that.

I leave it on, it saves gas and it's better for the emissions while driving in the city. I don't mind the slight delay in restarting, it's almost unnoticeable.
