I can't find any info anywhere that says the RCZ has stop / start so I'm assuming it doesn't, is that right?

Yup, no crappy stop/start and a proper handbrake as well :thumbup:

I thought it maybe becoming compulsory for emission reasons. You can always turn it off ;)

It has stop start tech, but you have to use the key :lol:

Or release clutch in gear lol. Although ultimately you still need to use the key lol...maybe a starter button would be less effort :p

I had one of those on my Megane CC, which I had for 7 years from new.

Every time I get in my Z I go to turn the aircon off :shock:

I've always wondered why the Z doesn't have stop/start when Peugeot put it on there other cars.
I guess there's a reason for it

Honestly, I hate stop/start technology. I turn it off in both cars that we have as soon as I turn them over.

The good thing with Stop / Start is that the VED (Vehicle Excise Duty) goes LOW.
My 2.0 TDi is now £20 a year compared to RCZ HDi at £125.

And as has been pointed out, there's usually an On / Off Button on the dash.
First thing I do when I get in the vehicle - Press the Off Button.

It is ever became an option, I'd happily pay an extra £105 tax a year for me NOT to have it. On the odd occasion I hire a car with that technology I am always expecting to be stuck at the traffic lights, but I have to admit the engines do always kick in when they're meant to!

Especially if it continues to keep my Tax at £20 a year.
