I so rarely use cruise, I'll probably never get used to it .  ............

I have to use cruise, I can't be trusted to have sole control of the pedal anymore. 

[YZ250]

I can't get used to my Mundano's cruise buttons on the steering wheel. 

The Omegas buttons on the end of the stalk are far superior! 

I like the steering wheel controls, cruise/resume and limiter adjustments are easily controlled by a flick of the thumb. I sometimes forget and put auto full beam on when I press the end of the stalk.

I do tend to use the speed limiter a little bit more than cruise, particularly on a 2 mile stretch near work, as the mobile cash machines hide on the long 30mph downhill sections.

Agreed, the limiter is much more useful when the traffic is not at a stable speed.

But you have to activate cruise to use the ASL.......

Yeah, and promptly end up changing gear when cancelling it

I disable ASL as soon as I'm done with it normally, as the amber lights on the dash upset me

On the bmw you just thumb the steering wheel switch to activate the limiter and that will set the speed that you are currently doing. To increase the setting you just thumb the switch until the desired setting is reached. You can come to a standstill and it will still remember the speed setting.

I don't like using the limiter on my Merc

Agreed, the trouble is there is other stuff on the stalk ends, each side, which may be useful ocsnly. I've just come back from a trip to the West Country, and the silly mare in the nav system can't count. She kept telling me to take the first exit off roundabouts when she meant the second. Happened 4 times today!

I, even now, have similar with Kitty - I kick changing up a gear when I want to cancel cruise 

Ah......not by the first corner then. 

I so rarely use cruise, I'll probably never get used to it .  I suspect I'll never get used to all the options in the current car, as probably will never use them.


But being serious for a second, I tend to get confidence with a car in the first mile of so. If I get a feeling of confidence in it, then it can get driven properly, else it gets gingerly driven back. As several OOFers can attest to...  ...and they know exactly what I think of their cars

I had the same feeling with my Merc, as soon as I started the test drive I felt completely at home with it.

Having owned it now for a few months I still find it a pleasure to drive,  with growing confidence in it I had it at 48 mph the other day in the fast lane of the M42, the 4 lane section.

You maniac !

Steady on, you'll run over the bloke with the red flag

In a month or two I'm going to steel myself and try an acieve 51mph, bit scary though!
