automatic. whatever cheap gas is available.

Oh, yeah, that back creep was weird. Still used to my older Taurus and it would just stuck to an incline.
Yeah, probably my biggest "issue" with the car is how dead it is at idle and when you are off the gas. You do have to kind of punch it to even get it to creep into your garage.
Glad to hear this rough idle is normal-ish.
