Wow, what a perfect little car!

Man does that Area-51 Cruise control work great, had it put in and took it out for a test, I could not find a hill where it would let go (release) I expected to pay $300.00 for the installation and it was only $150.00 The garage now knows how to do it, so the next one should cost half as much.
Anyway finely I have my Smart set up the way I envisioned it when I ordered it back in early 07 with my Armrest and cruise.
If you live in up state NY the garage that installed my cruise is in Galway (just West of Saratoga Springs) contact me and I’ll give you his phone number.
Wow, what a perfect car!

I'm happy they "passed the savings on to you" when they figured out the installation was pretty straight-forward. Congrats all around - the Area451 is the best performing cruise control I've owned.

I did find a hill where it dropped 3 mph over the 100-200 yards that were pretty steep. It didn't "let go" but the amount of accelerator didn't "push" the transmission into another gear. Not a normal cruise control situation and I can always switch to manual to drop the gear. Yay!
