when i bought the Evo I didnt know if it had cruise control or not. I didnt find out until someone mentioned it on evom. I really dont care if it came with it or not..even if it did I wouldnt be using it anyways. Cruise control feels good in my moms benz when slouched pack with one finger on the wheel in soft leather. I cant imagine using cruise control in my car with stiff suspension, bucket seats with a race car feel.... doesnt feel right imo.

yes the evo is a ****ty car and you should sell it ASAP because there is no cruise control. What idiot engineers designed this car, I ponder?

Here you go... a cruise control unit you can wire in!

And some tech on cruise controls!

Aw, hell.. this guy installed cruise control into a Lotus Esprit!

Now you won't be disappointed in your EVO any longer! *LOL*

Yeah the Evo sucks for long drives. I was pissed driving to Gingerman for 3 hours wishing I had cruise control. Yeah $30K with no cruise, kinda blows.... BUT then I got to the track and drove around for about 5, 20 min sessions and I totally forgot how bad the drive was getting to the track... until I drove back home, tired and looking for a cruise control.

Some people here need to chill the hell out. The evo is NOT perfect. Close enough though.

This just in ... The Z06, The Cobra, The SLK 500, and Porsche 91 are NOT real sports cars as they all have cruise control.

Anyway man, you can add cruise, I had the dealer add it to mine as a condition of sale. I dont buy if you dont install cruise. They installed cruise. Works great when I drive 15 hrs from SC to MASS.

cruise control is for people who like to fall asleep at the wheel.
