well, my 93 has it. my 94 didn't have it. 03 FXT's and up have them, along with almost every 08 model subaru offers to date.

bpang1, ward top is definitely a hill I will always avoid as well as certain kalihi valley streets. lol

 

I loved smoking my 245/50/13's @ the top of ward. That hill was a hard one. Especially with a very stiff centerforce clutch.

 

Yeah the only good thing about Ward is you can turn off on any of the side streets leading up to the top and come around to the road at the top at a easier incline...which is what I did.

 

It's true, folks seem to love to tailgate at the stoplight on the top of Ward Hill

 

^^wow, its a proven fact. everytime i've been on that damn hill somebody was tryin to store their engine in my trunk.

but thumbs down to hill hold, i dont need help biotch! subaru needs to quit adding all these comfort/friendly features on the STI. they really need to bring back the rawness of the 04's, back when the radio was an option.

 

I had my own hill holder that only worked when I needed it. Any stick shift with a hand brake has it already installed. Here's the instructions for use.

1. Park on hill.
2. Put car in 1st gear.
3. Pull hand brake (keep release button depressed with your thumb)
4. SLOWLY release clutch while giving the car gas.
5. SLOWLY release hand brake.
6. Start driving away.
7. Wave at hot tourist chicks.

Ill be happy to demonstrate at the next meet. (In your car of course. I drive an automatic now LOL)

 

no thanks, already attained that skill. btw, no one drives my car but me. you don't see the batmobile driven by anyone else, right? (besides robin in "batman and robin movie", that was gay, it doesn't count) that goes for me.

 

I has a noobaru!!!!

 

x 2, luv it on the STi, but rarely use it since I learn to drive without it...

 

so does anyone know what years have this and why they skipped years

i have an 06 doesnt do it. i could roll backwards all the way down lombard if i wanted to.

drove my buddies 08 sti the other day, def did nto have this happen either, and i asked him today and he said it has never worked on his car if he does have it.

so my question is... wtf?

 

When you stop on a hill, you fully depress the clutch pedal and brake pedal. As long as you keep the clutch fully depressed, braking force is retained by the Hill-Holder System, and you can remove your right foot from the brake pedal without fear of the vehicle rolling backward. When it’s time to go, your right foot will be free to depress the accelerator pedal as you pull away. As you gradually release the clutch, the brakes release automatically.

I dont understand what your telling. That no one drives your car or that your gay? If no one drives your car but you, thats cool. If your gay, thats cool too, just looking for a little clarification.


I kidding

 

My Legacy doesn't have it either...My girlfriends Cooper S has it, you definitely know if you have it or not lol

 

my clarification is that most men perceive their car as a female. so if i let you or a stranger drive my car, it wouldn't be right because its like two dudes inside one chick. gay. if it was my wife driving with me in it, its sexy because its like a girl-on-girl threesome. get my drift? lol

 

Man that is the best analogy I have heard yet. I get it man that's awesome lol
