Brake pads ARE really cheap, but automatics actually usually go through them faster, and FWD automatics tend to eat them like crazy it seems.
Automatics dont necesarily have to ONLY use brakes. They can manually change gears (i.e. the 3 and 2 gears on the shifter), or some have a "hold" button or something similar, which holds them in their current gear. They can downshift, press hold, and then use engine braking as well. *I* dont, but a lot of people actually to downshift in automatics.
