I'll be picking up my C43 in a months time and it will be the first automatic car I've ever owned. I've done some Googling but have failed to find a recent and clear answer to the question 'does the car lurch when put into park'.
Obviously we've all seen the rather dramatic lurching of cars in US TV series, and I'm aware how the parking pawl works. I'm also of the understanding that these days the electronic parking brake automatically engages when the car is put into park.
Reason I ask is that I park my current car within inches of the front of my house (sometimes millimetres!) in order to leave space for a second car on my driveway. I have visions of doing this in the C43 and it lurching into the house.... I know I'll find out as soon as I get the car and try it out, but I'm one of these annoying people who needs to know the answer to questions that pop into my head straight away.
So what can people tell me?
