I tried the handbrake yesterday and it didn't seem to restart the car.
OMG I reversed into my parking spot this morning and the car said "Start & Stop unavailable"!!!!!!
I demand an explanation! I'm talking it back to the dealership and asking for a new courtesy car! I'm writing Andrew Humberstone a letter to express my disappointment, I'm then going to get a necromancer to raise Robert Bosch from the dead and tell him how crap his S&S system is.
So there!

The system has worked flawlessly over the weekend I've had the car and I would have absolutely no problems recommending anyone get a Bosch S&S equipped vehicle. That the Punto Evo has almost matched the economy figures of the 500 with a bigger engine and more weight to pull around says to me that S&S is worthwhile and my drive to work only involves a few stops. In a city with lots of roundabouts, nose to tail traffic and traffic lights I think the Punto Evo would be doing better than my 500.
