I use cruise control whenever traffic conditions allow. It means I can avoid looking at the speedo and concentrate on driving. Other Zetec features help with this - voice activation, audio controls on the steering wheel.
drive.com.au enables you to do a comparison of new car models. I've tried to match the Zetec with the equivalent model, or at least the lowest model with cruise control. For example the Zetec has traction control, brake assist & stability control as standard, as well as: a rear window wiper, fog lights, door mirrors (do they mean power missrors?), speakers (?? see Polo), front readiong lights,
ABS, a spare wheel (do they mean full size?). I have no idea what "roof airbag" is or "power loack includes trunk/hatch"

The Zetec seems to out feature them all for less (except for the Polo). The only one that makes sense as an alternative IS the Polo.
