I quite like
it when you're actually driving. Not that I can;t do a hill start with a handbrake, it's just easier.

It pisses me off that you have to have your foot on the brake to manually disengage it though. It surprises me how often that is inconvenient.

My car also has the added irritation of needing the clutch pressed down to start. That's a pointless bit of nannying, and also an inconvenience.

Funnily enough that doesn't annoy me at all
Although it is nannying and it does occasionally confuse me when I am in a hurry. Even the big sign flashing at me to push the clutch isn't obvious enough sometimes!

It might just be that I live in a street
with only on street parking, and every now and then I have to shunt the car backward or forwards a few feet to make a space for my motorbike.

I'd normally just half get in the car, start it and move using tickover. Don't need two feet in the car.

It's just more farting about. I'm being fussy.
