Then I tried leaving as though I was on flat ground. A slight touch on the throttle and a slow gradual lift of the clutch. Pulled away like butter.
It seems as though us experienced manual drivers are just too fast for the system. I know it sounds crazy, but try pulling gently away as soon as the light changes. No anticipation of the HSA release point. No attempt to avoid rolling back. Just a normal flat ground in traffic low rpm launch. Let the torque get the car rolling and I think you will notice it as being less intrusive.

I've started to notice this as well...if I'm anticipating the HSA I'm more likely to stall or jerk the car forward. If I treat it like a normal start, I rarely ever have issues. I would like to see an option to turn it on/off though
