Perfect option if you want to use your phone while driving though I bet

I hate people that say they ordered it for the safety aspect - they need to consider having a licence at all if they say that.Joe390 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 8:25 am Is the overall view then that ACC isn’t worth it?
We’re still undecided on adding it to the S my wife has ordered. She’s never had it before and doesn’t see the benefit but I’m in two minds given in 4 years time this will likely be a standard/expected option what with all the new safety regulations coming in, plus feedback on the forum seems mixed on its effectiveness compared to other ACC systems on other manufacturers. Would be good to understand general feelings on it.
Thanks. Good to know. Given we’ve never had it on any of our cars so far, doesn’t sound like we’re missing out. Money well saved it seems!Tracky wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 8:36 amI hate people that say they ordered it for the safety aspect - they need to consider having a licence at all if they say that.Joe390 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 8:25 am Is the overall view then that ACC isn’t worth it?

First had it on a RS4 - barely used it and the active braking was a pain in the arse
Then on my current gen e class AMG. That one was good and far better than the VAG ones. And I used it sometimes because I had it not because I needed it. Still threw false warnings when it thought I was going to die - but unsurprisingly I didn’t because I’m typing this now ….. as I drive along in the dogs Seat which also has it and would seem to be the only benefit to catch up on emails/texts/social media.
Don’t miss it at all and wouldn’t have it (or pay for it) again
Well worth it in my view. The benefits are twofold.Joe390 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 8:25 am Is the overall view then that ACC isn’t worth it?
