The downside is you have to select this every time as comfort is the default.

Hopefully the programmers can code something!!
Count myself lucky that my MY20 I can turn it off with a click of a button. I would actually prefer to code it off by default.

The logic behind ASS is too unpredictable from driver's point of view. How many times I slow down enough to the stop sign and just about to go that ASS decided to shut down the engine. As I press the accelerator pedal, it wakes up agsin within like 200ms.... Totally useless
When I first picked up my m50i, I hated the ASS feature. I hated with a passion. However, as I drive more and more, it became less irritaing. Don't get me wrong, I still hated it. But Once I found this little timer telling me that ASS had cut off the engine 2hrs since my last refueling, I was impressed. That is 2hr less of burning petrol for nothing.
