Standard Adaptive Cruise in a diesel barge
Discussion
I've owned a mk7 Golf GTD for nearly 3 years, but I'm now getting a bit bored and have started to look for something bigger, quicker and still diesel.
Trouble is,
A) ive not got the budget to buy new
B) I've got used to my creature comforts and I'm struggling to find cars that build on the spec I already have, the main one being adaptive cruise.
Does anyone know to a "find me a car" search tool where I can search by specification - preferably where it's not an option. I know Audi/BMW/Mercedes list adaptive cruise, but excessive online searching shows them to be a needle in a haystack.
It's an issue I had when buying the golf, but was hoping 3 years on more cars would have included it as standard spec.

Like the look of the superb, but as with most of the MBQ platform, it doesn't look like they offer anything other than the 2.0tdi though, which would be slower than my golf with the extra weight.
They do a BiTDi Passat, but it looks boring
Was looking more at 335d's, E350's, A6 3.0TDis but was hoping to find a trim that may have the option ticked as standard.

Thanks for some of the comments guys.
I think I'm going to have to continue with the targeted search on AT using "ACC", "Active Cruise" "Adaptive Cruise" "Stop & Go" "Distronic" etc.
As ever, I'm going to be looking for a needle in a haystack. It's usually stuff that's retrofitable but I dont think I fancy my chances with this

Not much to add other that I feel your pain as I am in a very similar situation. Bought a new Golf 3 years ago with the Driver Assistance Pack which includes ACC,
Is anyone else using in this way or do you just limit to motorway use?
Was impressed by the ACC, but have recently spent significant time behind the wheel of a T-Roc with ACC and lane assist - takes so much stress out of long motorway journeys.Is anyone else using in this way or do you just limit to motorway use?
Use it similarly when the traffic is flowing - seems daft not to!
