The Volkswagen New Bora is indeed equipped with an automatic engine start-stop system, which is quite common in urban driving. For example, the engine will automatically shut off when waiting at a red light, reducing idle fuel consumption and theoretically saving you around 10% on fuel. However, I find it a bit annoying—the slight vibration upon restart might take some getting used to, especially in heavy traffic where frequent stops can sometimes accelerate battery wear. That's why I usually manually turn it off in traffic jams. It's important to use a battery designed for start-stop systems, as regular batteries can get damaged easily. Also, in cold weather, this feature may activate more frequently, so check your vehicle settings in advance to ensure proper functionality. Overall, it’s quite convenient for daily commutes and helps slightly reduce fuel consumption.
