    I quite like to use it when I can (lets me change the position of my foot) and the fact that it just resumes after I lift off once the overtaking is over is also great. Not always possible to use it on 2 lane motorways though (south wales).
    Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors.

    I've only ever had experience of it from the passenger seat but realise its usefulness in average speed check roadworks, you notice that most people speed up and slow down a lot in these.

    Dads got a mondeo with it and it does do one strange thing which no doubt increases fuel consumption, when you're going down hill its not constantly on the accelerator with light pressure but it goes on and off every other second or so.
