The brakes will hold for 2-5 seconds after being released even on very slight inclines. I unfortunately upgraded from a 2017 MK7 Golf R manual that was damaged in an accident (I was not at fault). In that model VW the hill assist or \u2018auto hold\u2019 was able to be turned off with a button. The new models \u2018assist system\u2019 is an unsafe as is requires heavy clutch/throttle input in order for it to release. I\u2019m [XXX]  and have driven manual cars and trucks my entire driving life so I\u2019m aware of what is required to drive a manual. This system needs to be addressed or somehow needs to have the ability to be disabled. There are multiple threes and complaints online some even siting accidents that the system has caused due to it not releasing when it should have.
