Hill assist? I got used to it, just like I got used to the odd gearing.

The transmission is definately a bit quirky, but it's a subaru, so quirky fits. When you drive it daily these are all minor or subconscious issues.
I find as long as the speed is greater than 5mph 2nd is fine for a rolling start. Starting from a stop in 2nd is possible but it does take about 500rpm more than 1st.
