Is there a cruise control on a Mazda 3?
My biggest regret after taking delivery of my 2006 Mazda 3 Sport GS (Canada) was the lack of cruise control. I simply could not afford the 1500$ premium for the GT model.

How much does it cost to install cruise control?
According to those reports, the software and cables are all in place already. The only things required are: A “cruise control” compatible brake ‘stoplight switch’.
