If he is "superheating" his brakes he has a brake problem. Not a hill problem.
I've gone down some of the longest/steepest descents in the US in 7000# trucks towing 12000# trailers and effectively no compression braking without over heating the brakes (truck or trailer). That little tiny car won't have an issue at all.
