my car is Impreza Sedan 2009 1,5R M/T
there is another model called 1,5Rx and it called in some countries 1,5Rk this model is M/T but with " Hill start assist " this option assist the M/T Impreza when climbing a hill .. when you push the Brake pedal for 1 sec then shift to 1st gear and move .. the car will not go backward on a hill and will stay without moving till 2 sec .. ( this help the Impreza to move smoothly on climbing a hill , especially when loading heavy bags .. ) - can this " Hill start assist " installed on my 09 Impreza M/T ?!?! or it's a stock option that can't be installed after market or at dealer?!?!? - -

I had a hill holder clutch on my 95 Legacy it worked pretty well on hills but the handbrake does the same thing. It looks like this system works a bit differently but has the same purpose.

it's standard on 1,5Rx , 2.0Rx and 2,5GT Manual models ...
- in my country only import the 1,5R models .. dammit it the ***Rx only 1000 $ more than the ***R models .. - i read in many forums that owners of Impreza equipped with that assist hate it and want turn it off ... - i will ask the s.center as soon as possible and tell you later ... - Last edited by ahmad7610; 04-19-2009 at 08:54 AM. |

i used to wish i had it, now it wouldn't make a difference, i don't roll back anymore, just practice on a hill, its really not that hard you just need to know where the clutch begins to grab

on a hill,
1. cover the brake with left foot 2. slowly apply pressure to the throttle while easing off with your left foot when it's your turn to go |
