Hey guys, I know I've been pretty critical about some of the electronics shortfalls that really annoy the **** out of me so I wanted to post something positive today.
I took a road trip over the weekend with my dog to go visit some friends in the central valley of California. This allowed me to really spend some good time with the vehicle while driving at my own pace (none of the awful stop and go BS that I get stuck in every single day in West Los Angeles). Not only was I able to drive through some nice twisty roads but I also spent some time driving along some pretty boring stretches with not much to look at but farmland while driving perfectly straight for miles upon miles. I figured, you know what, now would be a good time to actually test out the cruise control (I don't normally use it much). Low and behold, not only does the cruise control work (as it should) but it actually allows you to specify the exact speed you want to set it at. Right underneath the cruise control symbol on the dash, it actually shows the set speed and you can even adjust it in small increments +/- 1mph. Out of all the prior vehicles I've owned, this is a first for me. It's little things like this that can make me happy and even though it's such a small thing, good job Alfa!
