Ian, I was very much of the same opinion as my nearest motorway is 75 miles away but I have to say on my recent 4 hr trip back from Inverness, where it was all A class single carriageway, I had it on almost all of the way and it was fantastic. Coming to corners etc because the traffic in front was slowing down so was I. I’ve done that drive many times and actually commented that it was probably the most relaxed I’d felt after it and I think the ACC was the biggest contributor to that
Andy, I'm guessing that you don't have any kids. There are three of us so my car won't be used for long runs and will spend most of it's life pootllng around town. I did do a 300 mile round trip to darkest Surrey last weekend in the Z4 as wifey who is a nurse was working all weekend. I suppose that adaptive cruise control would have been useful but £900 would be too expensive for such limited use although I do wish that I had the blind spot thingie
Ian, between us we’ve got 6 kids
The reason we’ve got a 2 seater is we know when we’re in it we 100% are guaranteed that none of the little darlings can come with us and we have our own wee space.
I haven’t had time to look at and play with any of the tech yet as other things have taken priority atm but I’ll need to have a look at the blind spot thing, along with everything else
