Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Cruise Control is a very useful option, particularly if you do a lot of motoway driving (especially long european stints). It can take some getting used to but, once you have, it can be difficult to live without. It teaches the driver to look ahead and anticipate. However, retro-fitting is a nightmare. I had it retro-fitted to a 944 turbo in 1988 and it cost £850. Nowadays, to retro fit it to a 996 would probably be twice that. There will be other 'aftermarket' systems, but I'd be wary about fitting them to a 996, worth exploring though.

I never got used to cruise control, as, with no feet on the pedals, the only way my right foot could find the brake was to find the throttle, and then the brake. Really weird sensation. Not too dangerous, as I would only use it on motorways, and I try to avoid braking on motorways. (no brake lights showing, no panic braking behind me).

John, The trouble with Cruise Control is, every manufacturer seems to have a different system and locate it in a different position. It can therefore be very difficult to get used to. Fortunately the Porsche system is very good and conveniently located. Once you do get accustomed to CC it is very useful. I wouldn't buy a regular road car without it.
