A big assumption from someone who has not driven the car yet.
No “assumption” at all, I have been driving a 2017 Tig for 3 years and the when I have not manually disabled the STOP/START, it is an absolute danger at roundabouts, where the steering can lock when the motor turns off.
I’m assuming this thread is about a new way to permanently disable start/stop on newer ECU/software versions of MQB cars.
I also assume there is still a button near the gearstick to disable the start/stop as wanted (resets to on when ignition turned off- like all cars)
If there is still a button to manually disable the STOP/START, then I’ll be happy with that, I was just asking Hillbilly for clarification, based on his post.

There is still a button. I am just in the habit of hitting it now when I put the car into gear - It's not even conscious.
When I test drove the car, the sales guy laughed as I just instinctively did it having come from another MQB car with it. Said he was about to explain the start/stop "feature" but "you're clearly already familiar with it"

Well something the matter with it as has never done that with mine and not seen any other remarks about that on any of the several VW forums I haunt

Hi Hillbilly, it is just a split second delay before the steering unlocks. It has happened 5 times now, twice when turning at traffic lights, which is not a problem, but it has happened three times at roundabouts. It causes just a fraction more of a delay and on one occasion, that delay put me in the path of an on coming vehicle. When I remember, as ajobbins posted, it’s the next thing I press after starting the motor, but driving two different vehicles, just forget every once in a while. Thanks ajobbins, I was not quite sure what Hillbilly meant, but if new VWs are the same, all is well, from my prospective.
I have never turned S/S off and never had the problems you have experienced and mine is over 3 years old. By your post I assumed (wrongly) that you were yet to drive a Tiguan with S/S.
To clarify it seems VW have made it impossible to disable stop start by the prev voltage change method and thee other one which I cant remember was used in the 2020 models and it seems what is in my OP may get past that I dont know Just trying to help

Hi Hillbilly and thanks, I did finally realise what you were saying.
It was just that I am very interested in a new Allspace and had been looking at them, but had not taken one for a test drive so had not tried deactivating the STOP/START function.
I am going to see if I can replicate the situation with the steering locks and then I am going to try the same situation in my daughter's new Subaru and see if it does the same thing.
Hillbilly is right that it’s about learning to drive with the stop/start. Breaking normally and stop/start kicks in, Engine stop, power steering feels like it locks as power off etc. But I’ve found you can also break softly and not engage stop/start if you are in slow moving/creeping traffic like at a busy roundabout. This might be a bit like riding the clutch though, so if going through an intersection like this regularly just getting into the habit of pressing the button to disable stop/start works fine too.
