I have a 2.0 190 hp A4, brand new 2016-2017. In the drive mode the car ride is superb with excellent torque and acceleration. No complaints at all. However, I recently noted in few occasions that I have to do some parking maneuvers in sloped terrains that the car has a very low torque in reverse.
Is it a normal características of this particular engine? In most of the cars the torque on reverse mode should be stronger doesn't it? I would appreciate some insight.

I also have a 2.0 190 hp A4, and initially noticed that it moved slowly in reverse. I think the issue was that I was used to an automatic transmission, where the car would move in reverse with little or no pressure on the gas pedal. With the DCT, it appears that you need to push down on the gas pedal, like with a manual transmission.

I'm guessing it's inherent to the 190bhp version since in my car, all I have to do is lift off the brake pedal and it rolls back fast. No need for throttle input.
