quick question:
My friend recently got an 03 Subaru WRX ($10k, 5 spd, 70k miles, CAI, exhaust, turbo, etc.) and he says theirs cruise control on it. Now I always figured that cruise control was only for autos cause of the manual gear changes. Is he right, and can someone explain how it would work for a manual car? Thanks. |

It works just like it would in an auto, with the addition of if you hit the clutch it turns off cruise control. I used to have cruise control in my car.

cruise control was a bitch to wire for auto to manual swap.

I have cruise with my 5sp. Its simple.. would you ever put on cruise if you needed to shift? of course you wouldn't, that would be stupid!

you can use cc under 30, you just cant turn it on and set it, go above 30, set it, then use the paddle to coast below

CC is good my Celi, Lancer OZ, and Mustang GT all have it, I like it, I like it a lot, j/k I almost never use mine but it's rare to go more than 55 around here for more than a few minutes but it's cool to have it for long trips.
