Is it worth spending £200 for stop-start in my new Nissan Qashqai?

I was hoping you could advise me on the quality of Nissan's stop-start technology. I was not able to test it out and to be honest I was not confident in what the car salesperson was telling me. Have you used it and is it worth spending £200 on?

I can't advise you of the quality of it, no. Generally there have been a few problems with it on early adopter vehicles like BMWs and MINIs.
