I am one of the "few" people in Europe with an automatic (Toyota/Lexus hybrids only come with automatic) and I actually dislike it. True, it's great in traffic and highway, but on mountain or even moderately hilly roads I drive much worse with it. The brake pedal is too sensitive, so I end up being always either too slow or too fast. I drive on these roads only a few times a year, but I wouldn't recommend it at all to someone who does not live in an absolutely flat area.
