I’ve driven a Sonic with the hill start assist. I had no problem with it, and I’ve only owned cars with manual transmissions. I also have no problem handling a hill without the assist, although it really is quite handy. I don’t see why you’re complaining so much. If you stalled the car on a hill because the brakes stopped you from rolling back, you might want to practice driving stick a bit more to get the hang of it.
Also, my friend’s 2013 Silverado 2500HD has hill assist, to help with towing on hills.
I think you need to calm down and stop whining that your $45,000 Camaro has technology that prevents you from rolling backwards on a hill. Or go drive your 2013 Corvette, if it really bothers you that much.
