Default Cruise Control..

Does anyone even use it? I dont it just seems like a useless feature to get us to spend a little more money imo...

Heh, you obviously never driven a long distance on a loonnggg straight highway in the HOV lane . I love the feature, I don't really use it. But when I'm tired i know that I have the option of using it. ya know?

You don't use Cruise Control on the highway? I use it in the local police-ridden suburbs to keep my speed in check.

I like my S on trips. I use the cruise almost constantly then of course. But in the city, I use it to keep my speed down. I've found myself doing 80-90 in a 55 because I didn't set the cruise at 70 like normal. Helps keep my lead foot under control.

Come on down to Memphis, we can break you of that no-A/C habit.

if its there you might as well use it! no sense in not using it cause you think it takes away from the experience of the car... i hardly ever use the AC or the Cruise Control but thats cause i hardly ever need it... but for example, when its hot and im stuck in traffic the AC is a wonderful addition to this car!

I love the cruise control, I have way too many tickets from driving my MR2 turbo on the NYST without it.

It keeps me from excesive speeding.


I would love to have AC in my car, I need to get it working again ASAP.


On really hot days when I need to be in nice clothes, driving with no AC is brutal.

Cruise control is a wonderful thing when you are driving from Charlotte to Chicago, especially on the boring I-65 in Indiana (nothing but farmland).

As far as the A/C...what a great thing, especially since it gets extremely hot and humid here. During the summer, I tend to use the A/C more than having the top down.
