Every manual transmission car I’ve owned made in the last 25 years has had cruise control. Is stop and go traffic a pain? Sure, but not enough of a pain for me to give up my manual.
The only feature that I kinda wish I had was radar assist- manuals definitely don’t have that from what I’ve seen.
Do you mean the adaptive cruise that’s matches cars speed in front of you? Toyota did a damn good job with it in their tacoma. It’ll brake as you’re coming up on a slow car and you can shift just fine without turning off cruise. It kills the throttle when you push in the clutch and letting the clutch back out after your shift feels very natural and cruise takes back over the throttle.
Yeah exactly- that’s why they don’t do it on manuals, no way to disengage the gear on slowdown. I’ve used it a few times in a Subaru and was really impressed.
No, I’m telling you that’s with a manual transmission. It’d just brake until the engine stalled if the driver forgot they were driving a manual. Adaptive cruise works great on a manual, Toyotas implementation at least.

No way!! I hadn’t seen that yet. Well you learn something every day!
