Sorry to be sounding rude but why the heck would you want to place on a turbo out of all cars. Cruise control would ideally be ok for auto cars manual..errm turbo..errm MR2 #-o

I have Cruise control and I think its a waste of time.

When I slow down from 80mph to say 65mph and then hit the resume cruising speed, it just full boosts back up to 80 again. Fine if you wanna get back to 80 fast but its annoying for me.

This has come up on another thread recently.

Cruise Control has its benefits, and I for one am a big user of it (in my other car; my MR2 doesn't have it unfortunately).

Apart from the obvious benefits, being able to set the speed at (say) 50mph in a contra-flow that is covered by Gatso cameras allows you to keep both eyes on the road, rather than one eye on the road and the other eye on the speedo.
