^This. Asking a computer to consider transmission gear ratios + engine outputs + elevation changes + keeping a consistent speed = never going to feel "natural" because it's programmed to keep a consistent speed first and will upshift/downshift as needed to do that, and it often feels quite haphazard. Even on vehicles with 6-, 8- and 10-speed transmissions, this has been my experience.
With that said, the tall gearing and slow downshifts of the 5AT exacerbate the issue, but yeah.
