Who has the Adaptive Cruise Control? How do you like it?
With the JT being my Daily Driver, I keep going back and forth on if I want to try and locate one with Adaptive Cruise Control.
We have ACC on out Nissan Murano and find it useful on the highways with some traffic.

Edit: How does it compare to other manufactures?

I use it on the interstate. Definitely not the best application of ACC I have driven, but I like it more than standard CC.

Jeep doesn't do subtle very well. Slowing down is sudden, but acceleration legs quite a bit. it gets a little annoying when you are continuing to slow down for a noticeable moment after switching lanes from behind a slow driver.

Not something I thought I would have wanted. But now having it. I love it.
So nice to set it in traffic and let the truck brake and accelerate for you.
Also nice for me is I just had right foot ankle surgery so I drive with my left foot until I get to a freeway. After that I set the ACC and just steer.

I love it so far, but i read when the windshield breaks, its more expensive to replace.

I absolutely hate adaptive cruise control; it turns drivers into mindless drones.

Nothing more irritating than a vehicle on adaptive cruise control sitting mindlessly on the passing lane blocking everyone else.

Driving requires a minimum degree of mental engagement. If you don’t want to drive, do everyone else a favor and stay in the couch!

You sound like the typical road rager.

No need to make it personal. But since you brought it up, you sound like the typical mindless driver.

As a daily driver I had to have it and love it. My commute is 35 miles one way of mostly tollways so it works for me. I agree with other posters that in moderate to heavy traffic it isn't the greatest so I guess it just depends on what your daily drive looks like.

I don't use it around the city or very busy highways, but it is nice on road trips. Works pretty good.

Its the best ACC I've used. The funny thing is on the JT it is marketed as ACC/FWD collision warning plus. On the wrangler it is called the Advanced Safety Group. I am not sure why the marketing team decided to refer to the safety groups different between the JL and JT.

I love it, and have to have it. Also, not a robot or a mindless drone.
