I know similar large cars would have had cruise and that cruise doesn't work so well with small engines but what cars/manufacturers fitted it to smaller cars?

[Marks DTM Calib]

It was an option on pretty much all small cars.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I don't like cruise control. I had it on both the Merc and the bag of shite that was a Jaguar X-type. I don't recall ever using it.

Your right foot should act as cruise control.

My first Omega didn't have it.  I used to be exhausted after any journey of more than 4 hours / 200 miles. I won't be buying any car without it in the future.

I sense a difference of opinion....

[Sir Tigger KC]

I like it.    I generally set it at 70 ish and sit back and admire the view!

once I'm on the motorway its cruise on

thanks.

Might be in the market for a car soon. We like cruise - good for 200 mile journeys we have to do in Uk.

  would think most top end of the cars had it i:e elite, titanium, and the like. 

[BazaJT]

Very slightly off topic,but I'm with Dr Opti on this one Idon't like cruise control and don't use it-to be honest I don't even know that it works!

[Shackeng]

I use it all the time, always on M-ways, and especially on strange (to me) area speed limited roads ( unlike recently when I got nabbed in Herts ) I find it does help me stay within the limit when set, and I am looking out for an address/restaurant/pub/turning etc.

[ronnyd]

Mine is the first car i have owned that has it and i must say that at times it is very useful. SWMBO likes it, (cruise i mean)
as she has a very heavy right foot. All in all a handy thing to have i reckon.

[TheBoy]

I use it a lot in motorway roadworks and the like, as its all too easy for speed to creep up in those average speed areas.

Its not often that UK motorways are clear enough to use it normally, but it does get used when they are. And on French motorways.


As MDTM says, most cars that have DBW throttles have it available as an option. Pre-DBW, many of the smaller ones did not offer it, though there are usually 3rd party options.

Had cruise on the 2.0 manual Carlton many years ago , such a relief to give your feet a rest on long journeys and makes driving much more pleasurable .. throttle response seems more instant as well
