Maybe, I guess the V6 has that bit more torque....

The problem with the cruise seems to be the speed with which it changes the throttle - it's almost like the auto box see's the sudden increase as a request for kick down. With the mark 1 foot and a gentle squeeze it will climb the hills, keeping the speed up and staying in top gear.

Thats because the Senator's had to get there quickly before the cruise module failed. Again.

Not sure whether or not it does. It was 2nd hand & bought to fit to my Senator - but never made it before the car was stupidly sold.  ::)
