I hate

But really, it's good for either long or steep or both hills, but as far as I'm aware most autos let you select a lower gear so you can avoid over heating the brakes and because if you're braking down a hill unnecessarily you're just turning your fuel to heat and leaving the car in gear down a hill drives the engine without needing fuel and out of gear you're essentially idling so using fueland not in full control. I've only driven an auto a few times and found it a bit confusing at first, changing gear manually doesn't really involve thinking, even if I've not driven in months, kinda muscle memory.
