I've driven quite a few rental cars with it, some are better than others at being ready to go when you are, especially when you are stopped and need to move into traffic quickly. Just releasing the brake a bit will do the trick and I generally don't mind it on cars. My 2020 Chevy Silverado has it and I turn it off every time I start the truck, it can have a bit of a lag and it does not bolster my confidence. Also, when it's your personal vehicle, not a rental, every time that starter connects you know it's going to need attention down the road. To me, it's no big deal, just one more button to push before I drive.
