No cruise control

Since Misubishi skimped on the crappy dash couldn't they have thrown in cruise control. Anything past 50 miles is a pain in the ***!

I seldom have a need for it, but I could see how it could be useful.

Last month I took the Evo from Princeton, NJ to the Outer Banks in North Carolina--about 600 miles or 11 hours each way--and I didn't think it was that bad after the first hour or so, I just got over it. It's more fun to drive without cruise anyway, and I think I'd get bored and go to sleep if I used cruise. Every other car that's ever been in my possession has had the option, the Evo is my only exception. Either way I rarely use it, and I go on many road trips.

That said, cruise is a little overrated.

It's not good for the turbo or the motor to stay at the same speed/RPMs for that amount of time. Hench they left it out to cause different motor RPMs for better reliabilty.
