Retired and not looking. I am driving the wife crazy.
It does not work in a tight situation. It holds, holds, holds, then suddenly releases. Bad design. I turned it off.

Works great in my Z06, where all it does it keep me from rolling backwards with my manual transmission.

I like the auto hold but not the rear collision assist that will lock up the brakes when backing up if I have a bike rack mounted in the hitch receiver. I disabed this second feature that was designed by monkeys.

I love it and it's always on! Hate the Auto Stop/Start feature! Engine always seems to shut off as you are pressing the gas petal. It restarts but it can't be good for the engine or starter.

I like it, but the location to activate/deactivate this feature is pretty stupid. A physical button next to the shifter is where it is supposed to be, like in 99% of vehicles, not a hidden on/off slider behind several screen menus.

Totally agree. I don’t use it too often , but when traffic backs up , I like to switch it on. Why need to go thru two/ three menu screens to turn on and then another one to get back to maps or whatever.

Off in my case. I did try it a little bit but like people have mentioned I don't like how much gas pedal it requires to release.

Generally, I'm a weirdo who both likes tech but also likes old school but hates automation in my vehicles and other tools. I love my Powerboost but have most of the automation and helpers turned off or low. I also love my old (and slow) Mustang with its pushrod V8 and stick shift that doesn't even have traction control.
