The NSX. What a fabulous car that was
Great car.....
When Jenson Button was at Honda / Brawn GP I would see him now and again blasting his mint Silver NSX near Frome. It made a seriously nice noise......
I never clocked it was him until one day on the duel carriage I got out his way (he was coming up behind me at a serious rate of knots) as we approached the roundabout junction.
Glanced over at the driver of the NSX as we came to a stop. Instantly recognised him and he gave me a little thumbs up and it made my week! He then went around the roundabout at a rate of speed I barely thought possible while still sitting gobsmacked at the junction in my humble 120d
I was just telling @The Challinor over lunch today about my memorable day in the NSX, Tiff N was in a 996, and I was chasing him around Pembrey Circuit in the NSX
But no, I wasn't in white socks and loafers, nor was my footwork as good as the above.
Very very good car.

Well I think I can reply to this now, as my (broken down) S3 is S-tronic and I have a 1.4TFSI 6-Speed manual. Neither have Hill Assist and for me that's where the S-Tronic wins, really do not like the electric handbrake on hills in the manual. That aside, both are sweet as for your personal preference
You don't have to use the electronic park brake.
The 6 speed manual will have Hill Hold as standard, on an incline, the brakes will hold for around 2 seconds while you take up the drive with the accelerator and clutch.

It is pretty tricky to use in reverse though i.e. when backing out of a parking space on a steep slope, facing forward (in a manual). You basically have to rev the engine and go for it, or it will roll forward.
