It has to be one of the most disliked feature on a car.

You really only need to post that on one thread and area of a forum. 
Stop-Start (i-stop) STOPPED! It's official - Mazda Forum - Mazda Enthusiast Forums
My response before i saw the multiple posting...
.....
This is great I would NEVER own any vehicle that had it anyway.
Now we just need to work on semi self-steering vehicles. When the percentage of drivers actually learn how to drive
maybe then and only then have a feature like that.

I thought about posting so all Mazda owners could see it but I'm still new to this forum and didn't readily see a way to do that. Be my guest if you know how. I'm sure there's a way.

For member like myself I have setting to all unread and specific thread to alert me to go look at.
I get the reasoning behind wanting to post universally on a single subject on multiple threads.
What oil to use
what spark plugs to use
When to change air filters
What tires to buy
ext., ext., ext.............
The list is repetitive and endless
Another point is your thread, and other threads will get the most read in the first 3 days of posting after that most don't get responded on and the highest majority that look at them are victors.

Not sure there was ever a stop/start mandate. My 2022 CX-5 has no start/stop/i-stop. It could affect the new 2026 though. It is scheduled to have i-stop on all trims. One would think they could get rid of it with an update but I doubt they will do that before launch. They might not even change as manufacturers rarely knee jerk design decisions with the wind. The wind changes direction fast.

The last post is another example to why only a designated thread should have been started. Now the OPs thread may go off into another direction then what you started it to be?
Auto manufactures (most) were aware this may happen and already were in the works (most)to have a system changed but may still be available or equip. Most auto manufactures reading technical updates will be the opposite of automatically having the feature instead of a manual on/off choice for the feature and off at all times unless manually changed,. This too be clear the owner/driver would need to manually choose to use the feature.
Unless in US there is a Federal Requirement that outline and clearly states that all manufactured vehicle's starting in 2027 or 2028 cannot have a start stop feature in any capacity sold in the USA then there may still be that feature on some models in various platforms? The new information does not stipulate what an auto manufacture can offer on a vehicle.
Hey I am all for all vehcle removing that start stop feature, but I read clearly what some information is and go to the exact source and not a (hand picked social media youtube that aligns with my thoughts and belief system) and often twisted social media (like the video posted in 2 threads today) by some that do not understand their meaning clear enough. Or did not research all the empirical data and information before posting it?

There was no mandate for auto-stop.
It was a credit to manufacturers for mileage improvements.
The current administration is eliminating the credits not the auto-stop, that will be up to the manufactures.
Not likely to impact Mazda or other foreign manufacturers who sell auto stop models to other countries.
The next President(s) can also reinstate the credits or do something completely different as it is not a Congressional (bill).

The reality is they are only removing the manufacturer credits for it in the USA not the function itself.
And it could be changed back by the next President or the one after that,etc,etc,etc.
Which may or may not stop US manufactures from making it.
Many countries/manufactures have auto stop.
It's not likely Mazda or any other foreign manufacturers will change their auto stop production for just the vehicles sold in the USA.
As I previously stated I have no idea why someone would purchase a vehicle with it if they don't like and don't want it.
No one is forcing a buyer to purchase any particular vehicle but apparently there are many who do.
Complaining about a choice they personally made seems a bit foolish to me.
To each his own but when I lay-out money I purchase items that I actually want with the functions I want.
When I'm looking to purchase, anything else gets crossed off the list.
