Default Cruise Control on S4

Does your S4 have Cruise? Mine does not, and I regret that, but how common was the No Cruise option?

Much to my amazement, mine works like a charm. It is very precise which I love. I used it quite a bit when I drove the S4 cross country to bring it home after I purchased it.

I figure CC saves me from 2 or 3 tickets a year. I know, I know, not the point.

Well, GT owner, but it's got CC. It's great, very precise.

It was option in '87 and possibly '88 ROW. After that probably standard on all cars except perhaps '89 CS.

I actually used it in my first open road race to hold my speed just below 120.

I purchased my S-4 from a guy in Phoenix, and the CC has worked flawlessly since that time. I always use it whenever I take long rides

Mine is working, but I wouldn't say it is fully working. It looses a couple MPH at the set and it slowly looses speed after that. I'm guessing some sort of vacuum leak. I don't use it because of this.
