I used my last car for 18 years, and very, very rarely used the cruise
control. This car, owned for a year, I haven't bothered finding out how the
cruise control works.

I'm on my fourth car with cruise and each I used extensively. No point
in having a driving aid fitted, if you don't use it. I took time to
learn how all the gadgets on my car work.

The satnav, the auto wipers, the auto seat, the reverse sensors, auto
climate and so on. Even how it constantly checks the caravan's lights
are all working and puts a brake light on half power as a substitute
when a tail bulb fails.

Auto climate is a pain in the arse.

No, *some* auto climates are a pain in the arse for *some* people. (The
same goes for auto just-about-anything.)


Yes, I think that's the thing.

Though don't really see the point myself of what Tim wants :-)

Actually, I *think* our Galaxy might do what Tim wants. You can
turn the auto mode off (indirectly, by pressing the fan speed
selector button) , not really sure though what it does with the
air temp then. It's not a function I'm bothered about.
Occasionally I whack it onto full heating or cooling mode, though
it probably doesn't achieve anymore than just turning it to a
high or low temp.

Most of the time it lives set on auto and works well.

I'm on my third car with auto climate, lights, and wipers. I'm pleased
with all of them.

Yup. Though I do have a habit now of going to drive off in SWMBO's
car without turning the lights on at night :-)
