Hi From Georgia

I have a $100 all in reservation. I am wondering, will the cruise control work well with a manual transmission? Or, would the cruise control be constantly disengaged if you have to change a gear? I haven't driven a manual for a very long time… I wonder if they've made improvements?

Also, I am really hoping that I can buy and Elio in 2017. Before summer 2017 ideally. Can that happen?

The cruise will disengage when you shift , then you hit resume and it comes back on.
I drive a stick with cruise every day and zero problems

Howdy and welcome. No problems with the crosse, mine will be a manual as well. By 2017? That's what everybody is pulling for!!!

Hello from Northern Illinois!

I have cruise on my 92 Miata, and it's a 5 speed. I just wait till I'm done rowing through the gears, and then set it. No problems!

If you touch the break or clutch in any manually shifted vehicle it will disengage the cruise. Just find the slot (gear) you want and punch the resume button. It will come on in a lower gear... I've done it... (Drove tractor trailer for UPS 30 years and had cruise for the last 8....)

Good to know about the cruise and the manual transmission.
