Do you mean adaptive cruise control, I thought cruise control was standard fit?

I also had the adaptive cruise and the rear view camera, I like both of them. I'm looking for another car, but ACC and rear view camera have to be on my must have list!

No, not the adaptive, just normal cruise control, I don't think cruise control is standard on any model, speed limiter is, but not cruise.

[silverhairs]

I really thought The SEL did come with normal cruise and limit? But I did want the adaptive and added it.

Nahhh, it's not listed on the 'Standard equipment' list, but it is in the options list at £285, so that's what I specced/bought. The ACC it listed at £610, but I only wanted the standard CC.

Also worth noting if you want ACC, it's only available on SEL and above, you can't have it on S, SE or Beats.
