subaru comes with a feature called 'hill holder' its designed so you have a second or two to start moving forward on a hill without rolling backwards.

My STI came with this feature and can't be turned off! (08) To me, someone that's driven manual transmissions for over 40 years, I absolutley hate it! My .02 RP

i feel like i wouldn't mind it in san fransisco. i'm used to driving stick by now, but i have to admit, on a really steep hill, when someone pulls really close up behind me, i definitely am paying more attention to how i start.
