I just got my BRZ the other day and I am more than excited to have this car! The first thing I noticed is the hill start assist light is on by default from the dealership.
When I went for a test drive, I took it on a hill and noticed there was significant roll back. The car was in 1st gear and the clutch was depressed and once I let off the brakes, the car began to roll as if it wasn't on. I have driven a friends 2017 WRX with the hill start assist on and when I am on a hill, that thing stays in place like a rock for a couple of seconds.
Now I know how to properly hill start with the hand brake and a "true enthusiast" disables it haha. I will be disabling the hill start assist once I get a better feel for the car. I'm just curious if other people have experienced it as well as it kinda caught me off guard. I'll also study the manual a bit more, maybe there was something I did incorrectly lol
Here is a photo as thanks for reading.
