My civic hybrid has this back in 09
the car was actually pretty interesting, it uses the electric motor or something to start the engine so there isn't any cranking sounds when you turn the key, or when the engine turns off/on at a traffic light. I'm interested in knowing if the newer euro cars with this feature have something similar? I know that it takes like 1 or 1.5 cranks to start the engine within a second or so while stopped at a light, but when you cold start it does it also take the same amount of cranks or does it crank a few times like a normal car?
