You mean "being a manual it holds the set speed less well than an auto".

No I mean it holds the set speed much more accurately, at least until I
touch the brake or clutch.


And on a hill...?

Well it would have to be a serious hill, but I would change down and
re-engage cruise.


So, it can't maintain the set speed without intervention. Something an auto
can do. I rest my case. ;-)

In exceptional circumstances, no. Its a diesel, with massive torque, so
only rarely do I find it necessary on an open road to change down even
when towing. More often I have to disengage cruise, due to bends and
traffic.


Not everyone lives in flatland. I've just driven on a ****load of roads
that no torquey diesel could hope to ascend in top gear. Autos work better
with cruise control than manuals, period.
