No cruise control for me!

[T.Ferrino]

Ordered my 172 in late June for a first week in Sep delivery date, thought I was lucky when someone on here said all new clios would come with cruise but just came off the phone to my dealer who said unfortunatly "cruise comes out with the September cars", so mine must have either been made just before the August holidays or just after. Very dissapointed!

bugger i suppose rejecting it is a bit harsh

 

[T.Ferrino]

Yeah I thought about it but another 8 week wait would be to painful!

The 172 is supposed to be a sporty car, it doesnt need cruise control..

Just thinking of the long journeys and my poor right foot.

Poor right foot? I dont think so

Just rest it on the floor - with the pedal beneath it!

Cruise control is for wussies.. you should either be flooring it or braking.

Or both at the same time ..

lol @ cruise control. I never maintain the same speed on a motorway, too busy diving in and out of the lanes. You should have ordered a Mondeo m8

This is so true - it drives me nuts passengering with someone who does a constant 80! If theres a space, open her up!

Just like aircon and alcantara seats

 

[rt172]

As are carpets, rear seats, toolkits and passengers seats.

Bet you wouldnt be so enthusiastic after 200 miles! As for buying a mondeo-I dont understand what you mean its not a drivers car!! If my clio came with Cruise control surely I would have the best of both worlds?

 

[KDF]

nah, if you dont have aircon then your name is sweaty betty..

T.Ferrino.

i was thinking along the same lines as you, i ordered my 172 in Jan and so does not come with Cruise Control. Was a bit peeved when i heard they started to fit it as standard.

but now thinking about, to be honest i think Cruise Control takes all the fun out of driving. I reguarly use my dads Honda Accord and when he first got it, i was all excited about the cruise control. Used it once (for the novelty value).... and not touched it since.... it feels like you are not in control and that i hate.

To be honest, im glad that i dont have it in my 172.. One less thing to go wrong and going by Renaults build quality, its likely that it will.

Ive just visited the Renault www and seen the following Personalisation page. Is any of this remotely true??? Full leather sounds very tempting!

You can just about make out a Grey/Green 172 interior, weird!
