I've had some laughs reading this thread. Reminds me of when they started putting ABS on cars and all the folks who claimed, "I'm a bad ass and can stop faster without ABS". Yes, you can if you are a very accomplished driver.

The hill hold is sort of the same way. Any driver who knows what they are doing can hold a car on any hill by slipping the hell out of the clutch. So now there is a modern technology that saves your clutch and makes it easier on the driver, and somehow folks feel like that's a bad thing.

I'm 45 and started driving a manual at 15yo. The first "hill hold" car I ever had was a 2014 Ford Fusion manual. Great feature. I loved it!
