Hi all I know only a little about cars so I may be describing this wrong or it may be a stupid question: Is there some sort of feature on more expensive cars where it will configure best acceleration in first by holding down brakes with acceleration then lifting off brakes? Cheers

There can be hill hold assist on many cars. It works the parking/handbrake for you when you move off. It's not just expensive vehicles - many have this as an option.
