I had an auto V40 for a courtesy car last month and honestly, I wished I could've kept it.
It's amazing how much nicer they are to drive over a manual.
Hill starts: The car will never roll back and will stay still if the hill is steep enough, if not that steep then it will start to move by itself when you release the brake.
Don't put handbrake on while in drive at lights as it will try and move forward and put strain on the brakes, the footbrake holds the car with more force than the handbrake does.
Always put in neutral or park when using the handbrake.
