The roll back is annoying.

The roll back is too much. I'm barely on a 5 degree angle facing up and I roll back, nearly hit the other car.

learn how to drive a manual then you won't have that problem or just use your e-brake

hold clutch, with left foot, hold brake with right foot
when you're ready to go, quickly let go of brake and step on a lot of gas, then slowly release clutch

easier with parking brake, it's like having a 3rd foot hold down the brake for you

heh i know how to drive stick, just pointing out that roll back in an auto isnt a big deal

still annoying when someone pulls up that close on a steep hill, and the time i was talking about was when i had just gotten my civic and wasnt used to the clutch yet (its very different than the one in my 88 dodge omni)

its not like rollback is just a problem with civics though...and manual transmission car will have rollback. And the next time you race someone and barely win you will be stoked you have a stick. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

ummm, more rollback is better, it means theres less rolling friction.

Just use the ebrake if you're not confident, or learn how to properly drive a stick

*IMPORTANT UPDATE*

After rereading the thread in its entirety, I guess I did not clearly explain my car. Note this: I have an automatic. Roll backs on automatics on a small incline can mean something is wrong.

*IMPORTANT UPDATE*

Mine does that too, and it's an automatic too. It usually only does it on a fairly steep incline though

get used to driving a ULEV car, the idle is set low to save gas, thats why it rolls back more than other automatics
