Arrow The POINT of cruise control:

Cruise control maintains a predictable, constant speed, which optimizes fuel economy and improves traffic flow. Yaris Cruise control would keep the vehicle at a constant speed so you do not annoy other drivers by speeding-up and slowing-down while you are dialing your cellphone or picking your nose.

Standard, steering-wheel-mounted factory cruise control should be a required safety feature on all cars. Yaris hatchback cruise control would be a much more useful feature than the new government-mandated tire-pressure monitoring system.

No way. People in the US rarely check their tire pressure which is both a saftey and fuel economy concern. Cruise control is no more than a convienince. Improves traffic flow? Not when morons "set it and forget it" in the left lane.

cruise control is good for long trips and highway driving.. and even then it can't be used during rush hour traffic. Chicago traffic is so bad that I never used cruise control in my old maxima. I used it for going back and forth from school and even then, I didn't use it too much in case there was a cop around and i had to brake

Lots of luck with that campaign, 39. I have seen every agency from insurance industry, to police, to auto clubs and beyond, try to get people to move over!!! Unfortunately, drivers get into conversations, I-tunes, or whatever, and lose track of what they are supposed to be doing: DRIVING!

At the same time, a buddy reminded me of a trick that works for many people, "Problem Identification". You are following a guy doing 5 under the limit in the left lane. He is happily chatting away with his passengers, and he is happy. You, on the other hand, are working yourself up for a coronary, cursing, yelling, flashing your lights, you are UNhappy. Who has the problem? Certainly not the guy ahead of you!

Solution? Pull over, have a walkabout or a coffee, and then get back on the road; chances are you will never catch him again. This solution is going to be easier on all concerned, particularly you. There is no point in blowing an aorta over a guy who is completely unaware of your rage.

If it makes you feel better, call the cops, suggest that the guy is under an influence because of his behaviour, and give them the license number. NOW, he has the problem, not you!

TLyttle - Don't get me wrong. I am no road rager. I just find it annoying when people cruise in the left-hand lane. Done deal.

As I like to say, "Do the RIGHT thing: Move RIGHT for faster traffic."

It is the law.

Actually, what's more annoying is when people speed up and then slow down constantly in the left lane. And by speed up i mean go way over the speed limit and then suddenly get to like below speed limit.

Unfortunately, way too many people apparently don't know about, or use the stay right except to pass rule.

My impression during my vacation to California was that Washington drivers seem less aware than Californians. It's really bad here. Uphills with three lanes I find the far right lane has no one in it, and I cruise right up while everyone else stays in the center and left lanes.

i hope the 2008 s liftback doesn't come in all these bright colors that i guess are "sporty" like yellows and oranges, etc...i'm not sure i like the body style changes that much, i may just go for an 07...but an 08 has all the options i want for cheaper...decisions decisions!

I really don't see any difference with the body style changes. As long as they don't do away with the absolute red I'll be happy.

body style DOESN'T change. The liftback sport comes with rocker panels and the like, but that is about it.
