On regular flat freeway with minor hills cruise control works flawlessly. Only on rare steep climb and when we were in the high country (5K-7K) with constant steep climb I noticed more frequent downshifts than driving the similar roads without cruise control. Doesn't seem like a "problem" or "suck" to me, thats just the way the engine management is built. I can leave it in cruise and not be bothered by it or I can cancel the cruise and drive that section of the road, I tried both, either way, not a problem and I have no complaint. I monitored the MPG, didn't see much difference either ways.
