What’s wrong with Hill assist?

Most of petrolheads dont want any kind of electrical assist thats never 100% off. Even if its more challenging, I want the challenge, Also, another people say you should practice hill starts and not just leave the computer do it, because if it breaks down or you drive a car without it, you might forget how to do it and combine that with car behind, yeah.

Auto dim rear view???

Spare tire—it seems more and more new cars don’t have them anymore. A sealant-gel inflator kit might not be effective in cases of more severe tire damage.
