Brake "Hold"
Of all the really cool stuff that has been added to cars over the last few years (Distronic Plus, Voice Recognition, Hard Drive A/V Systems, etc.), "Brake Hold" might just be the coolest, most useful of the bunch. I use it all the time. Does anyone else find it indespensible?

I had "Hill Assist" on my 2008 Subaru WRX STI - its an old Subaru thing reinvented with ABS (it used to be a mechanical thing on the brake pedal itself). I found it useful on a manual car for sure (once you get used to it that is...takes extra throttle to keep from stalling when going up a hill).
As for the C207, its cool but being an auto, not as useful. Still, its nice to have but not ZOMG!
