Only really important if you cruise the motorway on a regular basis which I do not - Maybe drive to stoke and back once every 6-8 months which is 207 miles away but I was more than comfortable doing it without cruise in the civic so will be even better in this
When we do go though it's in the early hours (12am+) so with cruise I'd probably feel like sleeping more due to being less involved and surrounding being so quiet and traffic free.
I dunno, I'd probably like it but I certainly don't need it (now anyway)
Some storage space of some sort would be nice!
Seriously my Grande Punto has two small and i mean small door pockets capable of holding pens!
Then there's the glove box which isn't big enough for the manual, i can just about fit my ipod and a cloth to demist the windows in there. And not forgetting theres a shelf in the dash under the ignition that is angled in a way that when ever you put your foot down, anything that was in there is now under your seat.
So i have to put everything that i would normally would carry in these area's where the spare wheel should be as they only provide you with a quick repair kit.
Other than that i love it

Lets see, by fox's standards: ( I <3 you man 
)
PAS
ABS
Airbag that works (didn't come out when I crashed, light still on)
Electric windows
Electric sunroof
Air Con of any kind
An engine that wouldn't be more suited to a lawn mower.
1996 1.2 old banger clio!
EDIT: Forgot some other charms it has.
Rev counter that works. It works for a while, the drops off under 0. Amusingly, sometimes seemingly at random it's influenced by other electronics in the car. For example sometimes it responds rather like a VU meter to my sub, other times, it'll pulse in time with the indicator click. The joys of french electronics eh?
Heater dial only works on 1 speed out of the 3 available (been replaced twice at a scrappy, it just keeps on breaking
)
