The auto stop/start can be disabled in the gauge cluster info screen so you don't need to do it each time.

Here are some of my thoughts that I posed in another forum:

I can't say I am thrilled about the new LX. I would actually be open to selling it possibly. My 570 still gives me that sense of wonder when I get in or when I drive it. Like it did from day one. It currently has 12K miles and the the 22LX has 150, still brand new. But I just don't get the thrill from it. Read below, Something I posted in the other thread:
I own a 21 LX and a 22 LX. (also, a 16 GX, and have had a 4runner and Tundra platinum in the past)

This new LX is certainly made in a more "disposable" manner. The seams (fender to hood, fender to door, door to door) are all slightly wider (2mm). The driver and passenger front door cards are barely held by clips at the top where you would rest your elbow (you can pry them off very easily, there's some play to them). Headliner is thinner, single sun visor per side (and it's flimsy at the clip when you lock it in). It does ride smoother than 21 LX and quieter (due to laminated windows for middle row, which previous model doesn't have, only fronts on that one). But man oh man, when you shut the doors on the 21, it's like a vault, on the 22 it feels cheaper, thinner, etc, but so happy that it has auto-close. The front bumper on the 21 has two horizontal supports (one steel, another is aluminum). On the 22, there's one aluminum bar and the other is a plastic honeycomb. The list goes on, I can make a video of them side by side someday.

Plastics are thinner, carpet pile is thinner. There is less legroom in middle row by almost 4in, it is perceptible (our GX has more middle row space). Slightly less legroom (maybe 1 in) in front, but not as noticeable.

The 21 LX is built better than GX, but this new LX build fit and finish is worse than GX.

Some positive: More power on tap, more nimble on the road and agile in corners, steering very light at slow speeds. Tech is great improvement.

Your description of the new 2022 LX does not give me the warm and fuzzies. Especially your description of how you thought the GX has more room and is better built than the new LX. I also have a 2014 GX and have been happy with it and was hoping to get a bit more room. Now I'm starting to re-think whether I want a new 2022 LX now. I was thinking the new 2022 LX was going to be the last internal combustion car I would own, but now I'm thinking I might go EV and get a Tesla instead.

There is more room in the width dimension, undoubtably, and it is overall a bigger, heavier, taller vehicle. But, the LX570 and LC have more space. I highly rec finding one of those if you can. A very big upgrade in comfort and space from the GX. You will not be disappointed.

I do wish that the stop start function could be disabled in the info screen. However the options for stop start are "Standard" and "Extended". As best as I can tell, the extended setting is more aggressive in stopping the engine without regard for air conditioning.
