Mate,

No, never... cruise control is more for a luxury vehicle... a family car etc... sports cars don't normally come with this feature...but it can be installed... it would cost around $1,600 or so...

Why - you thinking of getting it installed?

[mad082]

it would cost around $1,600 or so

try about $200 plus installation, which you can do yourself.

cruise control is great! have you ever used cruise control?

[ctjet]

my currant POS has it and i tried it for the first time ever last night driving the missus into some country town to see her shit kicking family... didnt like it, wasnt in control of the car and i dont like that feeling. Although my next car will have it also i heard it sucks a lot of pertol so i might steer clear.

Hear in the big city i dont drive at one speed long enough to activate it anyways... so meh

i heard it sucks a lot of pertol so i might steer clear.

i found on the highway it used less fuel. if i'm talking and not paying enough attention i might drop down to about 95, then gas it a bit to get back up to speed, but with the cruise on it will just sit pretty much on the 1 speed so it isn't using the extra fuel to keep speeding up.

its actually the opposite ctjet cruise control is a fuel saver.

i have it on my falcon to drive to work as its an hour away and i love it, just kick back and away ya go, no chance of

getting done by the boys in blue as well, have to be careful in the rain though nearly came unstuck using it when i hit a

large puddle.

would never get it on my liner though would take the fun out of driving it.

----------- remember kids smoke tyres not drugs ------------

fair nuff

dun matter either way im still never driving at one speed long enough to use it

traffic and congestion FTW

[dan_the_man]

v35 has it

[GTR32GUS]

I think cruise control should be banned on cars i think it causes crashes

[Modena]

Ive got it in mine... love it on those long trips.

[JieLine]

My mums camery has it, and on long trips its soooo good! I wish my skyline has it for those 600km+ trips >< (I actually drive long distances alot...)

In the city or congested traffic cruise is dangerous & should never be used but on the hwy &/or long trips it is brilliant.

I worked for a traffic survey company several yrs ago & one particular job had me drive 15,000km's over a period of 5wks on my own averaging 8-1200km's per day & due to the nature of the data-collection the entire trip was done on cruise control. You still have to have your shit together & be aware etc but it truly is amazing how much more relaxed you can be at the end of long trips without having to put the physical effort into your right foot & the concentration involved in controlling speed & watching for coppers etc.

As for being dangerous, if that is the case the fault & blame lies with the DRIVER, not the device. If you don't have the skill & common sense to operate a vehicle safely with a cruise control, you probably have no right to be driving anything in the first place. Same goes for Automatic-only licences, but that's another argument for another time........

I've used cs in both my mum's car and my old car...only on the freeway.

But didn't use it in long trips. (If my leg is cramped, I should rest and do some exercise anyway)

actually i pulled the dash cluster out of the 33 today, and right beside the hicas light is a spot which says CRUISE.

my brother's rex is manual and came with cruise control, it's sweet for those long highway runs.

[mad082]

cruise control has been proven to reduce fatigue on long trips.

[Turbo Dave]

I have it in my skyline, Got it installed 3 days after I got the car......Makes it so much easier to drive the long trips thats for sure.........got to make sure you get an electornic one, tha vaccum ones a shit!!!......the theory is that with the cruise activated you not doing as much when driving such as looking at the speedo all the time to check your speed cos with the cruise you know its what you set it at hence no looking up and down every few seconds.....

As a truck driver I know that it makes it a hell of alot easier to do the long trips!!!

The one I got on my Skyline is a Command unit and was $700 installed, and has the buttons on the steering wheel....very neat and works very well with no surging and is much better on fuel IMO...
