I have never once used a handbrake to uphill start a car. It isn't necessary or needed. I never ever thought this was a "thing" people thought of.


On the flipside my daily is an 09 forester with a manual and it actually holds the brakes for a few seconds when it senses you are on an incline. I obviously NEVER rollback with that system but it took a long time to get used to being lazy on hills. I don't think I actually like it, but it has helped out a couple times (Chicago underground parking garage springs to mind) where I was doing some "serious" clutch work.
