Getting going on hills

Hello,
Got a gripe with getting going on hills, be it at lights or turning into a road. I really have to let the revs build then let out the clutch to get going… It really must look like I don’t know how to drive! Now I’ve just changed from a 53 plate Corsa diesel, never had this problem in that, I could hill-start perfectly… Is it just me not being used to the cars biting point or differences between petrol/diesel, age? Or just me needing more practice in it?!
Have owned the car 7days now…
Thanks in advance [H]

I would suggest its probably the petrol diesel thing.  The difference between driving a diesel Corsa and a petrol 5 must be huge…  Keep practicing… I went the other way last year, got a diesel (auto) daily drive for the first time and it took me ages to get used to driving that, particulary pulling away… !

Cheers Martin I’ll keep at it! Be an excuse to drive it more :slight_smile:
