We have a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso  and it has cruise control and it so easy to put the car at 58mph and it tows our caravan great we use it all the time .Next year i am  buying  a Brand New Seat Altea XL 7 speed auto box, Cruise Control, and  i cannot wait .

I am also a fan of the cruise control on my Mondeo. Driving at a constant speed is generally better for fuel efficiency, and it means you don't need to constantly check your speed when there are average speed cameras around. I also sometimes switch it on and keep exactly to the speed limit if someone is right up my backside.

Admittedly it's not something you would use all the time, it depends on road conditions. Plus you still need to change down sometimes when driving uphill, but for general motorway driving when it is not too busy then it is great.

I never had Cruise Control till I got the Mondeo it was something I never wanted, though there were occasions on long trips on the motorways where it would have been nice to move my legs a little. Now on the motorway I use it all the time it makes travelling so much more comfortable. I tend not to use it on ordinary A roads unless it is a long straight road but I would not buy another car without it.

Wow modern cars are so posh.  My old Cavalier has seats, wheels, electric front windows, an electric sunroof and, err, well thats about it.  Not even air conditioning.  Of all the gizmos and gadgets and whatever air con is the one thing I wished the car had (for those hot sunny days and long trips in the car.)  Less to go wrong though!

Cruise control?  My right foot :)
