I have been driving a manual for 11 years now, and find the Hill Start Assist function on my 2014 Sport to be annoying at the very least. I stalled the car twice when I first got it because of the HSA holding the brakes too hard and too long after I was on the throttle.
Does anybody else dislike this feature? It seems like a crutch for people that can't properly drive a manual.
Also, does anyone know if it can be disabled? It seems like a liability to me because both times I stalled I was at a stop light on a hill and there were cars behind me both times. I was lucky they noticed I started moving slowly then stopped.
Now when I see the light turn green I just let off the brake and wait two seconds before I take off.
