I am thinking buying a Mazda 3 SP 25, however friends told me Mazda's i-stop is giving trouble. What are your thoughts?

I have seen reports of the system not working as expected, but no real explanations yet. It could simply be that people are not up to speed on the system, and what parameters it uses to activate. It doesn't necessarily operate in every situation, and the engine can restart if, for instance, you slightly release the brakes or turn the steering wheel.
