6 speed automatic S mode

Since 1979 most of my cars and SUVs have been manual transmissions. Same with the 2007 Tacoma I traded in for a 2010 Camry. One thing that disappointed me about automatics is their tendency to 'hunt' gears on an uphill grade. I'm finding the 6A transmissions S mode, can alleviate that, at least to a point by selecting, for example 4th gear. It may be in 4th a bit longer than necessary, but I don't like when there's an upshift, then an immediate downshift which occurs on some  hills on my commute.  

With this automatic transmission, I don't miss a manual. I'll also admit, modern automatics typically return better fuel economy than manual transmissions.
