I never used Cruise Control before.
I think this is a nice touch that Mazda is offering this system as a standard (almost ... I guess most of the versions got it). Now, just thinking about it, it looks like a good think .. to be able to just relax your both feet during a long trip and to have the car stabilised at a "legal" (140kph ) or confortable (read fuel saving ... 120kph) have to be excelent.
My question is ... are those systems as good as it should be? How easy is to set up one of this. Pluses ... minuses?
And all these questions are intended for all those who use one of those systems (on other cars) and, of course to 6 owners which had and tried 6's CC.
I would also want to add a little bit of "dificulty" to this question by proposing three cases:
1. - normal. not very busy highway
2. - high traffic highway (2, max. 3 lines but all of them with cars so you have to change the lanes from time to time thus modifying the speed 100-120-150-...)
3. - 1/2 lane per direction road, not very busy, but you meet from time to time buses, slow/very slow cars which you have to go by.
