It doesn't matter how nicely I ease off the clutch pedal or how much gas I give it, the car will start lurching. It's enough to get me some angry stares from neighbors.
The only remedy I've found is to let the car roll down the hill until I can safely put it in 2nd or 3rd.
(Car has 1600 miles on it so it better not be a worn clutch)
Anyone else having issues like this or have any ideas?

What do you mean by "safely put it in 2nd or 3rd"? Why can't you safely roll down the hill in 2nd at the top?
Try riding the brakes harder while in 1st going down the hill. Make the car go slower in 1st if you want to stay in 1st while going downhill.
