Switching it off may be easy now mate, but not if that facility is ever removed, for reasons discussed. How often are you in traffic jams where you live? I thought you were fairly rural, no? I'm rarely in traffic jams or on motorways, so hardly ever use cruise control.
Anyway, I'm pleased that you're enjoying your car, Kevin, as that's what it's all about, and long may it provide you with enjoyment, but electric cars replete with all manner of 'driver aids' aren't for me. I'm not even a fan of automatic gearboxes. If I'd had the choice, I'd have chosen a manual one!
In a car, I like to do as much of the driving as possible (including parking and reversing) and be totally 'hands on', as otherwise it simply encourages laziness and erodes your inherent skills and judgement (as they say, if you don't use it, you lose it), and takes all the fun out of the experience.
These days, I don't drive many miles, so when I do, I want to be *actively* in control and immersed in the experience
Marco.
