My brother had a 97 Dodge Stratus years ago and it did something very smart when you had the cruise control active and the car gained speed going down a hill. As the car speed up, the transmission would downshift into 3rd to slow you back down to your set speed, then go back into 4th. This was very smart and could prevent getting a ticket.
My 2000 AERO doesn't do this and it is greatly missed. When cruising down a hill and the car gains speed, I either have to hit the brakes to slow down, which then cuts the cruise control so I have to reactivate it once slowed down, or I have to manually shift into 3rd (which I never seem to do though).
