There is no way to disable the auto start/stop system. In Florida the temp can get over 95 degrees. After 10-15 seconds of the car being off the car starts to heat up. My wife who has breathing problems starts having problems. I have ask the dealer to permanently disable this feature but they said no. You can do it each time you start the car but it is several screens deep on the information system. People who do not drive the car often (like my wife) would have trouble turning this feature off and could pass out sitting at a light. I recommend Subaru offer a way to disable this feature for people who have breathing issues. At a very minimum they need to move the disabling of this feature on every start to the main information screen where anyone can find it.

Battery is inadequate for the electronics in this car and will be dead if not driven often. After being a unable to start my car twice within a month, the service manager admitted this was a design flaw, there is no other upgrade or replacement for the battery and that the factory recommendation is to drive the car every other day. This means that when I travel and leave my car in an airport parking lot for a week or more, I will not be able to start the car when I return. The service manager told me to disconnect the negative post at the airport, then reconnect the post when I return. I am a 65-year old woman and not a mechanic. This car is unreliable and is a safety risk for me when I return to a parking lot late at night and my vehicle will not start. It has less than 5,000 miles.
