I went for a test drive on city streets and didn’t realize it didn’t have it. When I got on the highway afterwards, I found out it doesn’t. I wouldn’t have bought it if I had known.
I can’t believe they make cars without cruise. Are there places that can do aftermarket kits? I drive 30k miles a year so I definitely can use it

It's ok, if it hadn't it it wouldn't work anyways.

I think you can get the dealership to add it.

Drove a 2013 work van (Chevy) for a while. It didn't have it. Also, windows were still hand cranked. Moved up to 2018 with my most recent truck, and it is full electric with Bluetooth. And cruise.

Idiot decision. They can add it, but will cost quite a bit.

Aftermarket not done by the dealer is possible.

I wouldn’t suggest it.

I’d trade it and get one with.

If you just bought the car, return it. They may add it for you to keep you from returning it.

You can take mine. I never use it. Even on the interstate there are too many people driving too slow in the wrong lane to ever use it.

You won't have to worry about not having cruise control for long.

It only had 53k miles on it when I bought it. It should last me awhile

Of course it did. Driving a car without cruise control is a special kind of misery.

Cruise control is for plebes. Trade the car in and get adaptive cruise control. I drive 30K miles a year as well and will not buy a truck again that doesn't have this feature.

Keeping your foot on the accelerator is a real chore.

I'm 53 and I don't use cruise control, have never liked it. Tried it when I got my license at 15 years old and never once used it again.

Jettas are the kind of car you trade in before the warranty ends.

He may want to maintain 78mph between Pensacola and Tallahassee when he doses off.
