It takes a little getting used to, if you shuffle straight from the brake to the accelerator, it'll launch you. I generally ease off the break, feel the clutch grab then squeeze the accelerator - as smooth as it gets (takes about 1 to 2 seconds). If you don't accelerate at that point, it will creep after it's engaged the gear. Foot on the brake is like sticking a manual in neutral.
