Default Cruise control on fez?

Hi. Has anyone successfully installed & used cruise control on Fiesta WQ/WP - say in manual transmission?

If so, can you please share your feedback on model, cost and performance?

Thank you.

Hmmmm - that would be a hard task! Not sure if anyone has ever installed the cruise control.

The easiest solution; Don't use highways! You know you will have more fun taking the twisty road instead...

Answer: Cruise Control doesn't help when doing hand brake turns...

Yes, that is my point. There are occasions when you travel the less-travelled road with twists & turns, you cannot use cruise control and will have a wonderful time playing with steering & accelerator.

For the rest of the boring week, it's on the highway (yawn...) and a straight boring road, so a cruise would be a nice thing. It is to give me some relief for the day-to-day 9-to-5 work related highway work.

So no one actually successfully installed or interested to install cruise on Fez??!
