Is Distronic a useful feature?
Seems like a lot of money for an option for someone in a high traffic area, but I wanted to see if anyone here who had it had a definative opinion.

If you use your cruise control a lot now then it is a useful feature.
Is it worth the money??
Probably not, but it's just too cool to not have.

Its great the only downside is it won't let you get close enough to the car in front of you to keep people from diving into the gap, so in traffic its annoying but in light traffic its awesome. I will get it on my next car for sure.

I had it my XLR and it works like a charm. I tried locating a 06 SL with it and it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, it seems like there are less than 5 out of every 50 cars you look at for sale across the country. Good luck!
