Every slushbox I've ever driven has required a foot on the brake before it will start.

Same with BOxley. He's just gone senile and forgot that.
Or he's just piling on all the "negatives" he can make up because this is an evil snowflake SJW politically correct Millennial quiche-munching sissy car that doesn't Roll Smoke like a Real Man's Six-Ton 0.2-mpg Truck. -- Christian R.

Yeah, I can read; I saw that.
But you wish it were (and probably pretend it is) a Real Man's Six-Ton 0.2-mpg Truck that can Roll Smoke. Or you do drive a Real Man's Six-Ton 0.2-mpg Truck that can Roll Smoke and only pretend to drive a Focus. -- Christian R.

No one cares
I've been dealing with various brake to start, or brake to shift, for years. So what? You want a "quiet" car? Get the police package, when you lock or unlock it the alarm system keeps quiet. |

Foot on brake to shift out of park, maybe.

functionally the same thing
although technically correct is the best kind etc |

here we have a parking/neutral switch that needs to be engaged before the engine will start
so the motor can be started while in either neutral or park and in no other position. That is so if you are driving at 60mph and the motor quits, you can push the gear lever into neutral and attempt to restart the car without having to come to a complete stop. This is important as power steering and power breaks are lost if the motor quits. No need for a foot on the brake at all. "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman |

Your criticism of a mass-market car is that it's not optimized for covert surveillance? OK
