I find it to be great!

Along with Eco Pro I save an extra of 30-40km every 200km I drive
There is no way you save up to 20 % by using auto start/stop and Eco Pro. Even 5 % would be an optimistic figure. You can't trust the blue number in your display. It's pure fiction.

Also, auto start/stop is fine with the 6mt since you have to make the conscious decision of shutting the engine off by taking your foot off the clutch. With the auto box it will shut off whenever you stop, even if you were just stopping for a split-second. That's just annoying and inefficient.
