Today I show the cool features on the manual transmission in the 2023 Toyota Corolla! Full Review: • 2023 Toyota Corolla XS... Ask For Ephraim: www.southtowne...
What next for Ben ? Eating with a knife and fork ....without self harming ? Get a grip dude not it's not a dark art like front brake on a moto-sickle whatever one them may be..wonder if a wee hint of GINGER at work as the Dad o cat voice is on point
I'd rather watch something actually insane, like people getting shot. I can appreciate the fervor. It is not that special. This was already like watching a lame horse walk.
Bro driving manual with those shoes he needs the help lol. Ive only ever owned manuals since my first car 11 years ago. When I finally got a new job where I had to wear shoes like that I found out what a PITA it was to work the clutch on my MS3 with dress shoes on.
@@daveswietlik6291 i have the same issue with work boots so i change into shoes for driving as soon as i clock out. Makes the drive home so much more comfortable.
In Australia, you legally need to be able to do that to be able to drive a manual, they require you to disable all driver assistance technology for the exam
I have an old jeep wrangler with a 5 speed and no assists. It will be the vehicle my daughter learns manual on. If you can drive with no assists you can drive anything.
As an American who has been daily driving manuals for years, I agree. My old Civic SI had an indicator light by the tachometer that would flash at suggested upshift points; I eventually just learned to block it out. The car I have now displays what gear you are in on the instrument panel……though I admit that has actually been helpful a couple of times.
@@EM1-CIVIC It’s a 2021 WRX. You can actually turn the gear indicator off, but it grew on me. I don’t often really need it, but a situation arises here or there when I forget what gear I am in for one reason or another. It is nice not having to take my eyes off the road for a second to look at the shifter, etc.
Everyone is bashing how it makes it unfun, and too easy? Like cmon, we're losing people that want to drive stick. Idc what the car can do as long as there's clutch im driving it. Newer manual transmission cars are a rarity, and this can help give manuals a little boost! EDIT: There's a fair bit of you that can't understand that manual cars are going extinct. It shifts, it has gears, it's new, it's a manual in my book idc about the damn extras
When you have an insane amount of horsepower then a manual doesn’t make sense. Better have those for the lower HP vehicles where one mistake doesn’t blow up the transmission.
@@srtmetal7647he isn’t saying it can’t be done but it definitely is way easier to blow your transmission up when you’re at 6000 RPMs and you accidentally miss a gear and down shift instead of up shifting.
My dad always taught me that if you learn something, like driving stick, in a car that's a piece of crap, you'll be brilliant at it when you try a new car lol.
not wrong at all, lol, i first learned in high school in my friend's Mini, that thing's bite point was so unforgiving that when i transitioned into my brother's GTI for a bit (i had a bigger car that he needed for touring with a band) it was easy as heck. my current Kia Forte is manual and is comfortable, but not quite as nice as that GTI
Newer manuals are so incredibly easy to drive that some of them are literally impossible to stall. Any of the 10th gen Civic manual transmissions, you can literally just drop the clutch with no throttle and it will pick up and start rolling like nothing happened.
It's a cool feature that's been around for a long time. Subaru's in the 80s had it. But I don't think that takes away the fact Toyota still offers a proper manual today.
@@AttackOfTheZ0mbies in other cars its called hill start assist (can be found in 2013 focus being the earliest I know of) and auto rev matching first I've heard of was in the C7 corvettes
@@sk8s4aliving you can use the e break just put the e break on until your foot in on the gas then release once you're about to go. Iv used it on a hill before and it keeps you from rolling after trying to press the gas fast enough after releasing the break pedal.
"Avoids that awkward rollback" feels like an announcement by the professor in Futurama: "Good news everybody! After only a decade of electronics and software research we've fixed the problem we created by removing the break lever!"
@@jasonduffy7677 nah just quarter grab the clutch with the foot switch from brake to throttle then hit the throttle about half way down equalizing the speed at with you lift the clutch to the rate at which you press the throttle. do that successfully and you will never roll back.
To disengage the auto hold brake feature you have to be pressing the brake pedal, so it's not going to help keep you from rolling back when you disengage the clutch without stalling the vehicle or burning up your brakes.
I dont drive manual, but i ride sportbikes. I dont understand the need for heel-toeing. If you down shift, the engine naturally slows the car, so unless you're going way too fast up to a red light, theres no need. Just down shift and revmatch with your whole foot.
Toyota has had a hold function since the 80's. My 1980 Celica has a break that I can pull up with my hand that stops the car rolling backwards. Amazing how advanced it is.
There's definitely a way of dressing in sales. I can spot them so far away almost every time. Body language and way of speaking is super different too. It stands out quickly.
I like the roll-back of a manual trans! It's a bit of tactile feedback that reminds me I'm directly, mechanically in control of my 330ci's drivetrain & unless I'm in gear, clutch-dropped it is just a weighted object with 4 wheels
That awkward roll back is easily defeated by just using your E brake on a steep hill, and you can just gently rev your engine and release the E brake when you know you have enough rpm’s to not stall. Easy as pie.
@@DerEchteBabothey have benefits, they’re usually cheaper to repair and replace, give the driver more control and can help save fuel, it just seems to be the US where manual cars aren’t common.
Everyone: A handbrake is a great way not to roll backwards. Toyota: let’s remove that hand brake, replace it with an electronic brake, then install another electronic brake so the car doesn’t roll back!
Thing is, my wifes VW passat 2014 model has auto hold in it. Its nothing new to the car world. And makes drivers more lazy as they dont have to pull the handbrake button anymore. I drive her crazy when i drive the car as i turn autohold off and usually forget to put it back on so when she next uses the car, she gets a fright when it starts to roll back lol
@@tomr6955calculators are just for people bad at maths synchromeshes are just for people who cannot drive PROPER manual motor powered vehicles are just for weak people who are too lazy to use their legs
@@VideoArchiveGuyhow? its literally a manual transmission. the corolla isnt a sports car so it makes sense to have these technologies. its a real manual thats suited to traffic and beginners
@Sergio Zelaya Scott say that after driving on the streets of San Francisco or up in mountain communities with 8° grades at intersections. I've driven in both and that suby clutch saves your clutch and foot.
Came here to say this! I had an 88 DL wagon and thought it was amazing for the time. It also had the e-brake on the front wheels and the spare tire in the engine bay. My mind was blown lol
The only thing it does alone is the rev matching, and to be honest it's a pretty good feature. It still gives you all the control over the gears and clutch, it just makes downshifting easier
@@EMB1199 some things some people like, some things some people dont like, me personally I hate all the new gadgets in vehicles, i think it makes people lazy. My Acura MDX has all kinda of bells and whistles, i turn them all off as soon as i start it.. my buddy has the same vehicle and he loves all the gadgets 🤷🏿♂️
@@EMB1199 if you can’t turn off the auto rev match feature, it would be a real shame. The rev match downshifts, especially the heel & toe downshifts are the best part of driving a manual. If auto rev match is always on, it’ll be hard to practice your downshifts properly.
@@dankmemer2774 I don't really like to heel e toe, I do it because it's needed, but I enjoy the manual because it gives me more control over the car, with clutch fiddling and gear choice, so if it's just the heel e toe that is automated it's a win for me, plus I bet the gear chance would be smoother and faster
@@EMB1199 it’s never about speed when you opt for a manual car especially with them automatic these days shifting so fast. for me, when I nail a perfect heel toe, it’s orgasmic. The satisfaction is unparalleled. I’m trying both “big toe little toe” and actual “heel and toe” methods. I find that if you are applying low to moderate braking pressure, big toe little toe is enough. But if I am applying high brake pressure, actual heel toe is better. Between having an auto rev match that can be toggled on and off vs no auto rev match, having it is better. But between permanent auto rev match and no auto rev match, I would rather bot have it.
Manual is more fuel efficient than any automatics.The gearbox is much more reliable and it will let your car accelerate faster. Hopefully more people will drive manual.
These features are not only not exclusive to Toyota, they were done before by many other companies. The most hurtful part is they only exist because people don't know how to control a vehicle properly 😅
As a mechanic, I dread the day a car with imt comes in for electrical issues that I'll have to chase down in the cluster of never-ending wiring and sensors 😂
1. Pretty much every modern manual (including mine) has auto-hold. 2. To me, auto-rev matching takes the skill and fun out of driving a manual, which is kind of the whole point. Getting that perfect rev match is so rewarding when you've earned it yourself.
Agreed. On your point two, after getting proficient at rev matching on a synchronized transmission, the next level of skill would be driving a 10/ 13/ 18 speed unsynchronized transmission. One does not need to double clutch if one can do perfect rev matching, but if one makes a mistake it might get very awkward and very expensive quite rapidly.
@@angelito4058 I have not driven a huge number of different transmissions despite every vehicle I have purchased for myself being a manual, but I have found that heavier duty synchronized transmissions do not like the driver attempting to shift without clutching. In a light, small, sporty 2-door with a 5-speed, no problem. SUV with a 6-speed manual, it will tolerate with some protest. Trying it in a 1-ton diesel pickup truck with a 6-speed manual, not good. Step up to a truck tractor (Freightliner/ Peterbilt/ etc.) with an unsynchronized transmission and the most proficient drivers only need the clutch to start from a dead stop.
I believe ypu can turn it off in some newer mt cars tho right? If u can, just save it for the track. Personally, I don't want to muck about with that in traffic
Yup. It went away when they went to hydraulic clutches, but it's back on the newer ones with stability control. Best part about the electronic version, it works when backing up a hill in reverse.
"Makes driving manual so much easier" Immediately swipe. Manual is not for easy ride, it's for skillful drivers, and this electronic bs is useless point of failure
I have the auto-hold in my civic, it's a life changer in traffic and for hill starts. If I had a Type R instead of an Si I'd have the rev matching too 😂
I used to shift from thebpassenger seat when i was super young. I learned to drive a VW beetle when i was 10-12 i can't remember. My grandmother's 70s super beetle.
You must be American… most people in my country learn how to drive (a manual) at around 5-6 years old. By 10 they’re better drivers than 97% of Americans who don’t know a difference between a passing lane and the fast lane. Not to mention they don’t know blinkers exist
ONLY if the dumb brand doesn't put the gas so low that you can't reach it. I can't do it with my car because the brake pedal is so high up that I can't "heel" or blip the gas.
Its honestly insane to see the comments in here.. standard shift is standard.. which means the driver is in control. Blows my mind that these days we need technology in a standard shift vehicle.
No way! I cant believe a new toyota has a feature that has been around in manual cars for years. Absolutely insane and revolutionary. Please tell us more.
Toyota had these features for a few years now, maybe it’s something new in the region or the model idk. Having a button for the auto hold is overkill though, my Hilux doesn’t have a button for it it’s just on
That right there is where the problem lies today. You had a Dad teaching you how to be a man. These days every single mother shield their “little boy” from any chance of failure.
my old man was always way too akward at trying to teach anything so I got the briefing from my mom then they just let me go with my learners lmao@@byronn.2885 who cares bro also what are you all even talking about
The hold button is just an easier way of just using the damn e brake, which is already about as easy as it gets. This is good for older/lazier drivers rather than an “enthusiasts” option.
New feature had me laughing, this has been around for over 10yrs 🤷♂️ Plus the handbrake releases automatically anyway without the hill start button being activated and it automatically applies it when you turn off the ignition.
I have this exact transmission. I don't think I have ever unironically used the imt button other than off the lot to try it out. The auto break hold is pretty neat, tho, but not a feature I use too often.
Learning to feather the cluth and control rollback is one of the great joys of driving a manual! My friends were amazed at how smoothly I could pull away from a dead stop on the steepest hills in town. One time I had some coworkers in the backseat on a lunchbreak and it took one of them 20 minutes or so to even realize I was driving stick. And he was a self proclaimed car guy. Manual over auto any day!
I immediately disengaged the hill hold in my 2011 STI. It would grab when I wasn't expecting it and annoyed the hell out of me. I've been driving manual for 27 out of my 41 years on this earth and have quick feet so I only roll back a few inches at most.
You can also apply the handbrake, if it's really steep and you have a bumper rider, and let the clutch out to the bite point, then release the handbrake. Easy way not to roll back.
You can also just get the clutch to slightly engage before letting go of the brake and quickly switch to the gas with your right foot. This way you won't roll back at all on most (not so steep) hills.
Came here to say this it was mechanical back then and in the mid 2000s they chenged it to semi mechanical the clutch also has a delayed behavior on hills in the mid 2000s ones for hills using a ball bearing in the fluid.
My car is from 1972 has a hold button as well, its called a handbrake, i pull it up, then when I want to set off I just bring the clutch to biting point then push the little button on the handbrake and move it down, best part is too its all mechanical, so I dont have to pay an auto electrician stupid amounts of money to fix it
Yeah i had it on a budget vauxhall rental car recently lol. Premium feature it aint. Confused the hell out of me... I was trying to give it some gas to pull away briskly and the bloody thing kept rev cutting on me.
I’d like to watch a gen z’s head explode when they see an unsynchronized double-clutch manual. Were you have to clutch out in neutral to synchronizethe next gear. Never need to do leg day… every day is leg day with one of those.
You don’t need to rev or “double clutch” a car with modern synchromesh transmission. They need to let people drive a manual the way we want without interference from computers. That’s the whole point.
@@bldontmatter5319 you know you can disable those features, right? They are useful for beginners and probably makes it a little less annoying to drive in traffic, I really don't see how that's a bad thing. At least it's not a slushbox.
Basically he said “Toyota made a car that’s perfect to drive if you don’t know what you’re doing” which equates to saying “put them in any truly analog car and they’ll break it”
My brother's old Hilux cool feature is that you can't engage reverse unless you REALLY mean it, gotta grip it and rip it 😂 it's like a reverse lock-out. Oh and we JUST found 5th gear lmfao
yep in my country you wont pass the license test if you cant catch the car up hill with minimal roll so yeah you wont even get a license if you cant do it
I can understand those features potentially being useful for a beginner, but I find it difficult to imagine clicking buttons being efficient when one can simply know how to shift, clutch, and rev-match. Impressive engineering, but unnecessarily complex, and with it benefit for an experienced driver.
@@lumbardo1041Thats a function not a solution for something that doesnt exist like in that clip . For exampel roleing back your car only means you dont have any clutch controle at all and meaby shoud lern that instat of haveing a aka technical solution at that point just drive automatic
Hill start assist seems like exactly the same as "auto hold". The first feature explained in the video. And preventing your car from rolling back on a hill does not require clutch control. If you are using your clutch to prevent your car from rolling down a hill you are slipping the clutch when you don't have to. You should either hold the brake until the clutch disc engages with the flywheel, then press the gas. Or use the handbrake.
Congratulations, thanks for pointing out you are the son of Ken Block himself and you never have had any problems with any kind of transmission in any kind of car in any kind of traffic in any kind of weather
I’m guessing you like to announce that you drink only black coffee and always make a comment about who is a real man at Starbucks when your wife makes you go.
@@iwantchocolate8017no weather or incline, should make driving a manual difficult. It requires a different technique to start, but it's nowhere near difficult. It takes a few days of driving to learn to never slip a wheel, and go easy on the clutch. It's all about learning the clurch6 friction zone, and being able to keep idle at 500-800pms no matter what driving situation you are in. Heel toe, manual Handbrake if it's a very steep hill and you are driving on bald tires, etc.
Ain't no way people are acting like being able to drive a manual smoothly is some impressive skill that's even worth boasting about.... It's just fairly standard and worth knowing so you can comfortably jump in and drive any vehicle without being embarrassed.... I dont think I know a single person who can't drive a manual but im Australian so maybe it's different here. Honestly, I don't exactly hate the auto downshift rev matching, but I do think it's a little pointless and just seems like another thing to go wrong...
everything manufacturers do these days is taking simple processes and complicate them to the max…and than they call it new technology. and not only in the car industry…..everywhere! why? most people are lazy…and weak and always want to go the easy way. so these manufacturers have the best foundation to make huge amounts of money….and rule the world. people are like addicts for things “that make their life easier“ but in most cases it’s the opposite. all of this “new tech” generates problems we hadn’t before and we don’t need. every major company these days: “we polluted and destroyed the planet. we try to save it and -make it green again- and destroy and pollute it even more….or take the pollution to other countries. we are the good people! (shoulder tap)”
@@JohnSmith-pn1vv Right? 99% of people probably couldn’t get the thing started let alone get it into gear and get moving. In fact most people aren’t capable of even checking their oil for cryin’ out loud.
My 11 year old Subaru has hill assist. I don't even think it has a button, it just does it. I never have rev matched a single time daily driving my car. I never blew a clutch, trans, etc. either. Nor do I give my passengers whiplash with downshifting. So, yeah. Cool.
@@alaub1990 Toyota aren’t American They’re from Japan. They’re not “keeping the manual alive”. They’re making cars that the rest of the world buys, not because a few people in the USA give them kudos for it. So nobody gives a shit whether you take your hat off to them or not.
@@Dreyno So why tf are you responding to my comment if "no one cares". Do a fucking google search smart guy. Here in the first world where toyotas are very much a popular car, manual transmissions are being phased out along side combustion engines.
@warviking7647 cheaper yes, more efficient? Not necessarily, new automatic cars from good manufacturers are likely more efficient than manual nowadays. Especially when you use them in eco mode. Not even mentioning extra features they can come with nowadays. And if you really want manual for whatever reason, you can manually shift the gears yourself anyway.
@@warviking7647as much as I am a manual fan boi. All our families cars are manual. A modern automatic is more efficient. They shift more often keeping the car in peak efficiency. Plus in stop start traffic. And slow crawling traffic the auto will get more efficiency.
@@GabrielRMto be precise. its cvt gearbox that made lot impact. low rev at all time. even high rev is still somehow effiecent. low performance but more efficient
I had an Elantra N for a while and it had all these features. I was really happy that you could turn them on and off quickly. If I'm driving alone, I will drive a bit more spirited and I enjoy rev matching myself and don't mind if the car jerks a little more downshifting and such but when I had my wife in the car, she gets carsick easily so having the rev matching on makes it a lot smoother for her. It was real nice to have the option.
@@AGyuhif you aren’t double clutching when downshifting then what’s the point of revving the engine in the first place? It doesn’t do anything mechanically if the clutch pedal is pushed in while you rev the engine
All cars with E-parking brakes have this feature already and I'm willing to give this one the benefit of the doubt, but I, up until now, have always found the ECU trying to help out with shifting to be more of a hinderance than anything. Especially when short shifting. Also nothing new... several 90's cars had it, but it basically only worked between 3rd and 4th gear. Anything cross gate it would just mess with your timing.

Fr. Guess dude hasn’t seen a manual car in the last 5-10 years
U r right
I think they’re insane-- insanely useless. People who actually know how to drive manuals don’t need these features.
I had to learn how to control rollback and downshift on my own. I’m pretty happy I learned it in the long run
I've had my first manual now for 8 months and have learned both rev match and roll control. Most fun car I've had so far.
In Australia, you legally need to be able to do that to be able to drive a manual, they require you to disable all driver assistance technology for the exam
Yeah, me too, I remember being so nervous the first time and that you do it automatically
I have an old jeep wrangler with a 5 speed and no assists. It will be the vehicle my daughter learns manual on. If you can drive with no assists you can drive anything.
That hold is pretty nice though, gotta say 😅
As a Brit, the fact these features exist or need to exist, blows my mind. It's not that difficult.

Autohold is such incredible new tech, my 2006 Subaru came with it as default.
I was just about to comment this, yes Subaru has had "Hill Assist" since I can remember
They ruined cars for everyone else because a VERY TINY FEW PEOPLE can't fucking drive.
Thanks, 'Democracy'
My 2018 Civic had it as well. "Insane" lol
My 03 forester has it as well lol
Well its also "standard" in the Aygo Mk2 from 2014. But somehow heated seats isnt. Toyota is indeed a strange company
Let's give Toyota a moment of respect for offering a manual. Even dodge sold their souls not offering a manual option anymore.

I like the roll-back of a manual trans! It's a bit of tactile feedback that reminds me I'm directly, mechanically in control of my 330ci's drivetrain & unless I'm in gear, clutch-dropped it is just a weighted object with 4 wheels
That awkward roll back is easily defeated by just using your E brake on a steep hill, and you can just gently rev your engine and release the E brake when you know you have enough rpm’s to not stall. Easy as pie.

Came here to say this! I had an 88 DL wagon and thought it was amazing for the time. It also had the e-brake on the front wheels and the spare tire in the engine bay. My mind was blown lol
As long as you have the ability to turn all of that off, I’m all for it.
The only thing it does alone is the rev matching, and to be honest it's a pretty good feature. It still gives you all the control over the gears and clutch, it just makes downshifting easier
@@EMB1199 some things some people like, some things some people dont like, me personally I hate all the new gadgets in vehicles, i think it makes people lazy. My Acura MDX has all kinda of bells and whistles, i turn them all off as soon as i start it.. my buddy has the same vehicle and he loves all the gadgets 🤷🏿♂️
@@EMB1199 if you can’t turn off the auto rev match feature, it would be a real shame. The rev match downshifts, especially the heel & toe downshifts are the best part of driving a manual. If auto rev match is always on, it’ll be hard to practice your downshifts properly.
@@dankmemer2774 I don't really like to heel e toe, I do it because it's needed, but I enjoy the manual because it gives me more control over the car, with clutch fiddling and gear choice, so if it's just the heel e toe that is automated it's a win for me, plus I bet the gear chance would be smoother and faster
@@EMB1199 it’s never about speed when you opt for a manual car especially with them automatic these days shifting so fast. for me, when I nail a perfect heel toe, it’s orgasmic. The satisfaction is unparalleled. I’m trying both “big toe little toe” and actual “heel and toe” methods. I find that if you are applying low to moderate braking pressure, big toe little toe is enough. But if I am applying high brake pressure, actual heel toe is better. Between having an auto rev match that can be toggled on and off vs no auto rev match, having it is better. But between permanent auto rev match and no auto rev match, I would rather bot have it.
Manual is more fuel efficient than any automatics.The gearbox is much more reliable and it will let your car accelerate faster. Hopefully more people will drive manual.
Feature one, not needed - actually you make a good point for beginners. When I learned I had a handbrake as a backup.
Feature 2, pretty cool
Man wasn't living in a cave, he was residing in the Mariana trench

So basically just rev matching and handbrake hold, something most Honda civics have been doing for a while now
Right???? Gti has had hill hold for 2 gens now. I think most the sticks do this.

So they added a handbrake huh?
Hill hold has been an optional feature on some cars since the 50s.
Lame
Actually smart for anyone to learn how to drive but everyone who can already drive won't use it and it's a fun economy car
These features are not only not exclusive to Toyota, they were done before by many other companies. The most hurtful part is they only exist because people don't know how to control a vehicle properly 😅

1. Pretty much every modern manual (including mine) has auto-hold.
2. To me, auto-rev matching takes the skill and fun out of driving a manual, which is kind of the whole point. Getting that perfect rev match is so rewarding when you've earned it yourself.
Agreed. On your point two, after getting proficient at rev matching on a synchronized transmission, the next level of skill would be driving a 10/ 13/ 18 speed unsynchronized transmission. One does not need to double clutch if one can do perfect rev matching, but if one makes a mistake it might get very awkward and very expensive quite rapidly.
Yup. And If u rev match correctly in a regular car you don't even have to use the clutch at all.
@@angelito4058 I have not driven a huge number of different transmissions despite every vehicle I have purchased for myself being a manual, but I have found that heavier duty synchronized transmissions do not like the driver attempting to shift without clutching. In a light, small, sporty 2-door with a 5-speed, no problem. SUV with a 6-speed manual, it will tolerate with some protest. Trying it in a 1-ton diesel pickup truck with a 6-speed manual, not good. Step up to a truck tractor (Freightliner/ Peterbilt/ etc.) with an unsynchronized transmission and the most proficient drivers only need the clutch to start from a dead stop.
It’s the equivalent of a participation trophy but for driving
I believe ypu can turn it off in some newer mt cars tho right? If u can, just save it for the track. Personally, I don't want to muck about with that in traffic
Subaru had a "hill holder" clutch thirty years ago.
Yup. It went away when they went to hydraulic clutches, but it's back on the newer ones with stability control. Best part about the electronic version, it works when backing up a hill in reverse.

Manual over auto any day!

I immediately disengaged the hill hold in my 2011 STI. It would grab when I wasn't expecting it and annoyed the hell out of me. I've been driving manual for 27 out of my 41 years on this earth and have quick feet so I only roll back a few inches at most.
You can also apply the handbrake, if it's really steep and you have a bumper rider, and let the clutch out to the bite point, then release the handbrake. Easy way not to roll back.
VW Golf - it doesn't always seem to release in reverse, so my wife uses it but I don't
You can also just get the clutch to slightly engage before letting go of the brake and quickly switch to the gas with your right foot.
This way you won't roll back at all on most (not so steep) hills.
It's a pain time wise but if they are too close to you it is their fault - my standard instruction to my children as they learned to drive a manual.
This is how you prematurely wear out your clutch.
Subaru had the auto hold feature back in the '70s. They called it "Hill Holder"

Studebaker also had it about 30 years before Subaru fun fact
Toyota probably asked them for that feature when they bought their 20% stake.
Came here to say this it was mechanical back then and in the mid 2000s they chenged it to semi mechanical the clutch also has a delayed behavior on hills in the mid 2000s ones for hills using a ball bearing in the fluid.
Just use the brake! 😅
Wow. Everything a focus has had since the 90’s. Good job Toyota!!
My car is from 1972 has a hold button as well, its called a handbrake, i pull it up, then when I want to set off I just bring the clutch to biting point then push the little button on the handbrake and move it down, best part is too its all mechanical, so I dont have to pay an auto electrician stupid amounts of money to fix it
Like every new manual has that roll back hold. Auto rev match is common too.

Hill start assist seems like exactly the same as "auto hold". The first feature explained in the video. And preventing your car from rolling back on a hill does not require clutch control. If you are using your clutch to prevent your car from rolling down a hill you are slipping the clutch when you don't have to. You should either hold the brake until the clutch disc engages with the flywheel, then press the gas. Or use the handbrake.

Hey, Studebaker had that brake hold feature back in the 50’s 🤣
These are cool toys, but the feature I appreciate most is you can turn both the hill holder and rev-match off.
I had an Elantra N for a while and it had all these features. I was really happy that you could turn them on and off quickly. If I'm driving alone, I will drive a bit more spirited and I enjoy rev matching myself and don't mind if the car jerks a little more downshifting and such but when I had my wife in the car, she gets carsick easily so having the rev matching on makes it a lot smoother for her. It was real nice to have the option.
Hill holder in a subaru was annoying, i'd take off and suck the back of the car down waiting on it to release
@@AGyuhif you aren’t double clutching when downshifting then what’s the point of revving the engine in the first place? It doesn’t do anything mechanically if the clutch pedal is pushed in while you rev the engine
Im sorry, but if you can't do a stationary start in a manual without the assistance of a fancy button, You should not be driving a manual.....
All cars with E-parking brakes have this feature already and I'm willing to give this one the benefit of the doubt, but I, up until now, have always found the ECU trying to help out with shifting to be more of a hinderance than anything. Especially when short shifting.
Also nothing new... several 90's cars had it, but it basically only worked between 3rd and 4th gear. Anything cross gate it would just mess with your timing.
