Mazda CX-3 iStop - problem or no problem?
I think I've discovered the issue. The guide suggests it won't work when the Aircon is on, but what it doesn't clarify is that when the air distribution is set to the windscreen, even when AirCon is not on, it won't work. I moved mine back from Windscreen to Auto and I-Stop was Ready again.. And worked.

The air conditioning system dehumidifies the air, so it's useful for defogging the windscreen. When the fan control dial is on, and the mode control dial is in the windscreen position, the air conditioner is automatically turned on. The outside air position is also automatically selected and i-stop is disabled.

That's how it's designed to work, so you can bring the car to a standstill temporarily at a road junction and keep the engine running.

Funny how some people moan it doesn't work while others moan they can't turn it off. Everyone wants something different from a car.
I never used to use it in my Wife's company car but I use it all the time in mine and not had any issues.
I was in a Volvo the other day, the stop kicks in before the Volvo has stopped moving, it's a right mess at roundabouts.

The i-stop on my car has worked fine since day one.
It's just over 13 months since I got the car and I must say it keeps surprising me how much time the i-stop has been active.
It currently has been active for about 10 hours !
That is 10 hours of wasted fuel and engine wear I've saved.
On the downside though, that is 10 hours of my life (that I won't get back) that has been wasted sitting at traffic lights. ;(
