Know what you mean. I'm finding R setting a bit odd. Seems to somewhat lurch back in a rather worrying way when with parking that's when you want complete slow control. Not finding it very intuitive yet - about three weeks into Crosstar ownership. It's our first automatic, first Honda, after years with much larger Peugeot estate. Have managed to avoid parallel parking so far but that can't go on living in London. Husband has scraped 'eyebrow' above headlight with trying to get out of tight parking spot after car in front parked a bit close. Oh well.
