  Start-Off Assistant  

i want steering wheel gear shift paddles
Brake Standby reacts when the driver suddenly lifts off the accelerator, anticipating hard braking, and snugs the brake pads against the rotors. Start-Off Assistant automatically engages the brakes on an incline to prevent the car from rolling back when the driver lifts off the brake pedal to depress the accelerator.
nice features. very useful. especially the Start-Off Assistant. one of the bugs of manual transmissions. it's nice to have the couple seconds of extra brake when it's at the correct time. apparently there are mechanisms to detect if the car is starting off on an incline. it's not that new, can't understand why other manufacturers don't incorporate it. it's a strong enticement to get manual. but i think i would prefer assisted advanced automatic transmission that works so inhumanly fast. apparently it's easy to get the auto to shift up gears, but the cool part is getting it to downshift at the correct times so that you get the extra power when you want to accelerate. hm

guess what brand does this come in. bleh.
