...It seems this whole argument has been brought up before, well before my arrival on this forum. Reading through all of the posts is entertaining! In fact, I nearly wet myself laughing so much!...
As the 500 might not be a first choice car for a motorway cruiser (it's perfectly capable, but if someone else is paying the fuel bill I'd prefer something quieter with better seats), CC isn't going to be worth having for everyone.
...By contrast, I never use the cc in my M Coupe as it encourages more aggressive driving.
I don't understand how Cruise control encourages fast driving. I thought the idea of it was to keep at a steady speed.

:yeahthat:Ah yes Venters, I see your approach on epb's statement and that obviously makes sense so Ill shut up!
I thought the meaning was the coupe encourages aggressive driving hence why you wouldn't use the cc.

I totally agree with Robin, it would be a good option in any case if it was available in Europe models.I don't see why the size of the car or the engine affects the appropriateness of cruise control.
Surely it is about the convenience of not having to keep your foot moderated on the accelerator? Why does size affect that?

I did the post about the Autostrada cruise control, about $600 (Australian). Our 500s are the same as the European ones. I supposed they would ship overseas but I don't know.
I also posted on T124 forum if you want to see how it's done. Search, cruise control for fiat 500. This forum won't let me post urls yet
As I understand it, because the Euro 500 never had cruise control as an option, it's not built into the ECU. But I am only going by what others have said. Different in the US, their 500s are made in Mexico and have lots of differences to the Euro ones, including cruise control.
That is not correct. Actually Euro version has cruise control, but it was an option. I've seen few Fiat 500 with factory cruise. Not so many who ordered these cars were too interested of this option. But for me this is a must.
