[QUOTE=Isow;13002589]Am I causing wear and tear on the auto transmission ?
The salesman told me that he always uses the P when he stops and not the handbrake.I assumed the P was just like an electronic handbrake.
Am I wrong ?/QUOTE]

Yes, P is not any form of handbrake, it is just locking the gearbox. Fine on the flat but on a hill it will put strain on the locking pin in the gearbox so you should also use the handbrake.
