Yeah I wish I had it too ... it's a handy feature for helping keep your licence whilst becoming a safer driver because you can pay more attention to the road.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I didn't get much change out of $800 when I got mine installed 6 years ago. The optional Mazda one was around $400 plus installation from memory.

Speaking of steering wheels, I saw an NC wheel on an NA Miata (with NB interior) :shock:

Mine was $695 fitted on the SE, about 18 months ago, with a larger vacuum reservoir.

Our NA clubman has genuine Mazda dealer fitted cruise control. its a vacuum system that is reasonable but bloody slow to take up. It was fitted before car was delivered and is the only NA that we came across with it fitted.
