Hi all

Does anyone know what cars come with radar cruise apart from the S Class?

Alternatively what other manufacturers call radar cruise so I can search on AT?

Cheers!

Thanks guys.

Surprised to find adaptive cruise on some £7k Corsas! It must mean something else on those...

Not surprised to only find it on big engined cars. Shame!

Would of been nice to find it on a 320d or an A4.

Never mind!

A few Audi A4's have it. Look for the glass bubble at the bottom of the front bumper.

You can have it on a 320d and most other 3-series variants.

Just out of interest OP, have you ever used radar cruise before? It's a very weird feeling as you're careening towards the car in front and waiting for the car to decide to slow down. Don't forget some systems cut out below a certain speed, can see that causing a few accidents with inattentive drivers at the wheel.

I've never used it, but just watched a Top Gear with Clarkson using it on an S Class.

Since I'm in the market for a replacement for my A3 I thought I'd get it. But my budget is around £15K and for that amount all the cars with it are high miles

:-(

If you're hooning down the motorway at 80mph and there's a stationary tailback in front, will the car emergency stop you in time?

Only if it works down to 0mph I'd assume. To be honest, I'd be doing the braking if I saw a tailback ahead. Good judgement the better part of valour and all that...
