Car in first, clutch to the floor, ebrake on....light turns green, let the clutch out slowly as the engine bogs or moves the vehicle(depends on how well adjusted the ebrake is!) put the ebrake down....and bam no more hill problems!

When I test drove the M/T FRS, it didn't seem like you could just let the clutch out slowly, you always had to give it some gas otherwise it felt like it was going to die. In older M/T cars I've driven (mustang, jetta), I could let the clutch out slowly and the car would start moving without gas input, making it easier to inch up in traffic. Then again, I only test drove the M/T FRS so I didn't get much time with it, so I may be wrong.

You can get the car moving with no gas, it just takes some patience with the clutch. I didn't think you could either, until I made a post in these forums and tried letting out the clutch really.slowly. and it does seem to roll out. Definitely not as easy as other manuals, though.
