can't answer your question even though I have an auto. But to stop rollback for any car, you can try stepping on the brakes with your left foot, then step on gas pedal w/ right and release brakes at moderate pace.
Roll back Rate?
This question is to the drivers that drives the automatic Mazda 3. How good does the 3 handle on a uphill? Such as once you come to a complete stop, and letting go of the brakes. Does the car roll back a lot very quickly or stay there for a while before slowly rolling back. I know the rate of the roll back will depend on how steep the slope is, but lets just take for an example, a moderate slope. Cause in my IS300, once I stop on a moderate hill and than releasing the brakes after one or so minutes, the car will just stay in place. No roll back at all. I'm wondering if the 3 can do that. Because in Honda, especially the civic that I drove, once I release the brakes, the car will start rolling back the instant you release the brakes.
Thanks in advance to those who could answer my question.

It rolls back on steep hills in first, but if you put it on second until you're ready to move it is still.
I don't think it's a good idea though, but whatever. The pedals are close enough to step on the brakes and hit the gas at the same time.

does the IS300 have hill assist? i know audi's do, it'll keep the car stopped on the hill (any hill) for 5-10 seconds before it lets the car roll. 3's do not have hill assist so they would roll back like any other normal automatic with a steep enough incline.
