Re: Cruise Control

Until I tried it, I thought Adaptive Cruise Control was kind of a gimmicky accessory. No more. Along with keyless ignition, and a HUD, I wish my other cars had them.

ACC shines in light freeway traffic and long, interstate driving. When it starts getting dense, I wouldn't recommend it. In situations where you wouldn't use a normal cruise control (heavy rain, and traffic) you wouldn't employ ACC either. As previously stated, with the XLR-V you gain a serious horsepower increase over a stock XLR (and just about everybody else out there) and still have the use of a normal cruise control. I have a CTS-V and my base XLR is more than fast enough for me. In fact, I don't drive CTS nearly as much any more, so I'd recommend driving both types of XLR and choose what makes you most happy.
