Living With Adaptive Cruise Control on the Bigster Hybrid | 38,000+ km | S1EP18
38,000+ km with Adaptive Cruise Control on the Dacia Bigster Hybrid 155.
The good: genuine comfort on long trips, auto hold in traffic, road sign speed reading, hundreds of km without touching the brake.
The not so good: bad weather deactivations, unexpected braking, no preventive driving, a gear change quirk at motorway speeds.
Plus lane assist. Why I switched it off and never looked back.
