+1. It's a pain but you do need to hold it the whole way up. And don't even think about using the button to lower it. Those features are only available on luxury cars like Honda, chrysler and Kia

accidentally push that button in the garage and you'll be glad it only unlatches (assuming your ceiling height is like mine)

Pushing the button on my 2013 GTS opens it up all the way. I find it quite convenient when picking someone up and they need to quickly throw something in the back.

Not being able to lower the hatch using the inside (drivers seat) button is absolutely stupid. It annoys the hell out of me!

Thanks everyone. This is the first car i have owned that you had to hold the button instead of push it.
