How are floor mats not standard on cars these days?

Hill start assist is just part of the ESC I'm sure. If it's like most of the systems I've seen, it just holds the brakes for an extra 2 seconds after you take your foot off the pedal. No harm done and it really isn't going to bother you if you're a skilled standard driver. Most of us I'm sure can start on a hill, but it's when those people decide to stop WAY too close to you that you worry about rolling back even a little.

Now you could use the parking brake too (which most of us forget about), or you could let the non-intrusive HSA help you out. That is so not the biggest thing to whine about on the 2013 model.

I guess there was enough people who thought it was a good idea to have 21st. century audio & navigation. Imagine that.

Had a Buick Verano out last night with the same touch screen, goods new is you can avoid using the touch screen at all if you so desire all the manual buttons were still there. Also this is one of the easiest touch screens I have ever used, way above and beyond the older style Navigation systems. It is very much like using the icons on a smart phone

Hey guys. Placed a factory order on a 2012 2LT on April 7th. I didn't want a touchscreen in there, so I was glad to get my order in before they became standard. Touch screen requires my eyes to be on the screen, and you can't use it while wearing gloves. No thanks. Plus, I much prefer half of the rearview mirror to turn into the backup camera display, rather than having to look down at the screen for that.

I dont need help with my stick on any hills, as it was said before i dont have roll back on hills, downtown seattle is as hilly as frisco is and if you cant hold it then get yourself and auto.

+1 to this!

I have driven a manual all my life and consider myself skilled at it, but the jerk that pulls up to within inches of the rear bumper always makes me wish I had this feature. I had it on a Passat and it was not even noticeable. On a hill there is nothing to worry about, let off the break and no roll, take all the time in the world to launch, and when you do launch it simply cuts off and you can't even tell the brake was on.

Now my question is if this is something that can be added to a 2012, anyone??
