 another 'what next' - henry k
- the hire car is a Toyota Avensis automatic - any clues for driving an auto,
I've never had one before but I managed to get it the 70 odd miles home without issue

>> Select D, point steering wheel in general direction and press the throttle,

As you have probably found out there is far less engine braking on the overun so be prepared to brake more.

Is there still a little button under the selector head? if so it is jolly useful to drop down one gear from top to help acceleration rather than stamping on the gas.

The usual advice to an infrequent auto user is to tuck the left foot under your seat.

Enjoy!
