I can’t believe you can’t permanently disable auto start stop among all the myriad settings on my Honda. Fortunately there’s a very convenient button I’ve learned to reflexively hit after I start the car.

The law prevents you from selling vehicles with a permanent disable feature. Some cars have after market workarounds but on most of them you have to turn it off manually each time you start the car. The worst are cars that put that switch deep in some menu.
