> How do you do a hill start? I never use the parking break for hill starts and I've been driving manuals since I got my license in the 1989. Not that I particularly want to but whenever I'm looking for a car that's all I can seem to find in my price range. Back in the day I used to have to parallel park my old Bug on a hill and the parking brake didn't even work -- it's just something you get good at after a few times. Though... my current car does have a "hill assist" mode that automatically applies the brake on hills to help out which is kind of nice.
