Can confirm, hill hold is a great feature if you live in a hilly area like Seattle. Had it on my ‘11 tdi.

Mechanic here, keep doing that clutch slipping hill hold.

Oooof, I love that you drive a manual Chevy SS, but I have to cringe at the thought of anyone holding a car on a hill with the clutch. That is the first thing I was taught not to do!

I have a ‘16 GTI with the feature and love it after dailying a manual for the last decade. Where I live there are a lot of hills, and in traffic this saves my clutch a bit and eases the stress on my left leg as well.

I agree the skip shift is a awful idea, but why bypass the hill hold, it’s a wonderful invention! your dad said “can” hold on a hill with the clutch, not you should hold a car on a hill with the clutch, doing that is a great way to wreck your clutch early. Driving stick isn’t just about being able to do it smoothly…

Hear, Hear! I installed the skip-shift eliminator the day after I got mine!

Dear 19-year old SmugAardvark,

Any badge in the wrong car for that matter, like this “Maserati Accord”

or on non-BMWs.

Any FWD with a huge aluminum spoiler?  

Light bars and lift kits in suburbia. None of that is needed to find your way over to PF Changs.

M badges on non-M BMWs.

Hi Joey!

Hey Joey!

Thanks so much for the help you guys. :)

Any time a company tries to “pander to millennials” I’m suddenly left wondering where these millennials are that they’re pandering to. I’m 28, solid millennial territory, but I’m married, live in my own house, own not one but TWO whole cars, and even have offspring! The strange part is every other millennial I know is…

Color me impressed. Well done Team Salamone.

Probably a combination of both. I was expecting a massive retaliation but this was very professional and respectful.

Whether you believe it or not... it was a well-written response with at least a few explanations.
