Never used it, but I know people who swear by it, but I also know people that won't use ordinary cruise because they don't feel in control .....  ::)

I don't get that, as mine slows me to a speed relative to the vehicle in front, and accelerates again as required, the distance gap has three settings. It works brilliantly on the Mondeo. I love it. :y

That's what they all do, mine to.

But, driving in rush hour traffic on the M1 when you keep getting cut in on by cars and lorries, its useless.

Ah, yes, well as I always leave a 'sensible' gap, which idiots will often squeeze into, this happens to me during non cruise driving as well, so it is not an issue for me. :y

yes and like me you probably have been involved in very few to no accidents as a result. The keep your distance Chevrons painted on the M1 (a hundred years ago) somewhere near Luton I think, had a profound effect on my driving style.

Remember the mantra "only a fool breaks the 2 second rule"?
There must be plenty of fools about!
I once had a sign on my rear window, saying that the gap I leave in front was for MY benefit, not yours. It was ignored by those said idiots, so I removed it.  :o

Well...actually I have experimented with it but don't like the idea or feel of my right foot doing nothing.

Some of the 'gimmicks' I like.

Heated seats. :y
Heated screen. :y
Blind spot monitor. :y

The cooled seats are really no more than ventilated. :-\
