Reversing Auto

We are just getting used to our 1st auto with generally positive comments from the family , we notice that when reversing up our drive (reasonably steep) there is not quite the same control as our previous manual cars .
Is it just a matter of getting used to it or are there any tips to obtain a bit more precise control ?

Thanks

RE: Reversing Auto

Whatever you do, don't try to two foot it! You've gotta be light on the pedal. If you are reversing uphill to your house, just imagine you have an egg between your foot and the accelerator pedal! Laughing

RE: Reversing Auto

Yep fine positioning of an Auto can take some getting used to, especially when you add Start/Stop into the mix.
