So I have had my new car a month now. I was on the motorway driving home from Leicester and by mistake pressed a button whilst indicating to change lanes. The car sped up slightly. From looking in the book it was cruise control.

What a nice surprise. I didn't realize cruise control was standard on the vRS. I'm ashamed it took me a month to find it.

Aye - it has been standard for quite a while now. I had it retro-fitted to my 56 plate when I owned it. I tend to stick it at 80mph for those long motorway drives (I assume that it will always over-read and that I reality I'll be going below the 70mph+10%+2mph you're usually ticketed at).

Useful feature.
