Is it possible to tune the cruise control to make it more responsive? Can an owner do it, or an independent garage? How about a dealer? And if so, will a dealer do it?
My cruise control is lucky to be able to hold speed in a 5 mph range going up and down moderate hills. My nasty old Ford Contour's cruise control did much better, so I know it can be done. Both were 5 speed manual transmissions over the same roads.
