    I used to have cruise control on my car when i lived in the states even there i didnt use it that often, maybe on a long journey when the freeways were quite it was handy

    Pete, Im changing my navara next year and its on the list for the replacement 4x4.

    Most of my work driving im in the transit and this does to a degree have the same effect as she's not the fastest thing on the road with the weight I carry!

    Rosa, agree but its very easy when your permanetly running late!

    For the record I do drive sensibly in built up areas its only the motorway were I put my foot down.

    Yeah I think thats it Rosa, unless the roads are quiet its not that easy to use.
    Until they make it so its impossible to run into the car in front.

    The trouble today is, cars are not meant to be driven at 30 mph. I`ve got a clapped out Montego but that is not happy under 40. Now that cars are so advanced why not reintroduce the 100mph speed limit on the motorways. Another problem on motorways are the motorists who will not go over 50mph, no matter which lane they are in, and of course, the artic drivers who will insist on trying to overtake each other without a thought to those of us behind them.

    Agree Dave and also modern cars are so quiet, My navara makes the same sort of noise at a ton as it does at 50 and actually runs better. Any slight noise is deadened by my cds (curently the Eagles!!!)
