Reverse Question

Have any of you experienced any issues with reverse while on a steep incline. Yesterday while on a very steep incline when put in reverse she wouldn't budge. ESP was on and I guess kicking in. It was easier for me to go forward so I did, but I wonder if this may be an issue.

If any of you have the opportunity play with it, I'm going to try to find another steep incline and see.

Thanks Noxxin - It was raining her in NY so I didn't get a chance - also I had the front wheels turned a bit.

What transmission mode were you in? C mode starts in second gear, forward and reverse. Yes, the transmission has two reverse speeds. Make sure you're in S mode.
