It depends on the gradient, weight in the car and the traffic situation. With 5 people in the car, even a gentle gradient can be a problem. Padding is sometimes ineffective. Simple example for me is the forum car park, as you spiral up, if I'm alone or just two of us, padding is enough. If its 5 of us, I have to use the handbrake.

With the Civic AT, no issues. Just let her take care. However in some steep slopes the car will still go backwards.
