Does the tC with automatic transmission roll back on hills at all? My dad's Accord (with AT) rolls back ALL THE TIME. So does my mom's Volvo, but not as much. My Mazda doesn't roll back at all, it sometimes rolls forward... Driving in San Francisco, this is kindof a big issue LOL

yes the AT has a slight rollback.

i havn't noticed a roll back yet...

The car has brakes. Use them.

RussianTC

Yes...it does...but I hear pressing the brake and the gas at the same time isn't a good idea right? So when you take your foot off the brake and move it to the gas...some cars roll back. So that's what I'm wondering about. Sorry if I didn't make it clear. :o

well damn! how much time does it take you to move your foot 6 inches? it's not like by the time you press gas, you're gonna hit the guy behind you..

and in my AT Corolla, I NEVER had any roll back...

LOL I guess you never driven a Honda huh? Even a half second will cause you to roll back. And if you do it too fast...you end up peeling out.

you can always hold the brake with your left foot and hover your right foot over the gas. as far as giving it gas and breaking, there's nothing wrong with that. you're not going to tear up our tranny by giving it just a little gas so you dont roll back.

heh.. yeah... maybe that's why I dont like Civics... hate them things..

anyway, to me, the reason it rolls back is because there's not enough (engine) power..

not saying that my corolla is a power plant, but I'd pick one up anyday before I look at a civic...I was gonna get teh corolla XRS but when I was toyota.com I saw a small link that said "scion.com" and that changed my life (or at least the choice of a new car)... the tC!!! lol

You know, I don't think the rolling back has to do with engine power, I bet it has to do with the transmission. I drive a Mazda 323 (that's a 1.6L 4 cylinder with under 100 hp!) and that thing rolls forward on hills! But in any case I was just trying to see if this car rolls back on hills, it's not a big deal. I'm sure it's not as bad of a problem with AT anyway.
Thanks for everyone's input!

Depends on how you drive it...

Almost all AT cars that I drive I use the brake when I am uphill... Then while the brake is still on I give it gas so I don't roll back... Usually ends up in smooth acceleration ;p

Other times when I feel... Bored I will usually match the amount of gas I need to keep the car from not moving... (But it uses more gas)... But I save my brake lights! lol...

Pretty simple solution to a stupid problem ;p
