Was this for the 2004 model EVOs? I know for a fact the '03s did not come with one.

I work for an automotive web site and we process the Kelley Blue Book data feed monthly.

"Cruise Control" is a standard equipment checkbox that appears for all vehicles, regardless of whether the option was actually offered for a model.

Similar features include "Premium sound", "Alloy wheels", "Cassette", "Navigation system", etc.

Why do you guys care so much about cruise control? I dont get it. I never use in any of my car ever. Beside, traveling long distances with an EVO is not very pleasing anyway.

you don't understand...I understand that it is listed on all cars but there is a box beside it that either says optional, unavailable or standard...this one says standard. The other car in the comparison said optional. Cars that it is not offered on (such as the 03 evo) say unavailable.

Some of us do not have the luxury of not driving 50+ miles to work and back. Also, if I wanted a "pleasing ride" I would not be looking into an evo in the first place. Cruise control may not be important to you but some of us enjoy at least a little luxury in our $30K cars

As someone who drives 63 miles to work and back everyday, I don't miss cruise control, never liked using it anyway. Don't complain about there not being luxury in this 30k car. If you don't like it, buy something else, we don't need to hear your crying.

That may be your opinion and that is fine... blah blah blah... Don't complain? Do you even listen...I'm not complaining or crying about ****. I was simply pointing out a flaw made by Kbb. I'm so sorry you have a prob with the truth of the matter. Can you not accept the fact that cruise control is a basically standard option on many cars... even a cheap *** hyundai or daewoo? I love the evo and have been planning to get one since the release. Don't be like the kid I commented on above and jump my *** when you obviously don't understand the conversation. I get tired of people putting in their opinions and treating them as fact. In summary just because you don't care doesn't mean the hundreds of others out their don't.

I've seen lots of 03 being sold from dealers and the ad states that they have cruise control. Just about every car does except the 03 evos

This car should come with it purely for the fact that the thing WANTS to go fast... so for those late nights coming home it'd be nice to just "set it and forget it".

I'm glad to see that someone can agree with me that it would be a nice feature to an already nice car.

Yep, this is the first car I've had without it, and I really do miss it. I do lots of freeway driving and it'd be nice to have it.
