Did you transfer the knob over.......on the steering wheel Ken?
Of course I did, it was the First thing I modified, I LOVE me steering wheel knob !
Great fer U-turns in cul-de-sacs that might need a 3,5,7 or even a 9 point turn.
Also put me full size spare wheel in the boot and fooked out the space saver.

A nice knob says a lot about a man

The power steering on the 171 is much more impressive than the old 08.

I'll take back what I said about the auto wipers, after doing 6 hours last Sunday night in miserable on/off rain and drizzle, the auto wipers were a Godsend !
On the Automatic you get adaptive cruise control, where if the car in front slows, you slow accordingly, if it come to a stop. you stop, it's amazing! you just point the car in the right direction and off you go
I have that cruise control thing in mine aswell Roy, never bothered with it !
I am starting to love the reversing camera by night.

No you don't, it's not feasible/available in a manual, how can you reduce speed/stop without engaging a clutch?

O Yes I do !
I never bothered reading up on how it actually works, but it is a manual car and it has cruise control and also that automatic braking bit.
I'll text you the photos as my email is acting up.

Mine has that cruise control as well and mines a manual.  I use it on the motorways, its dead handy. Tipping the brake or pressing the clutch will disengage it. I find the reversing camera shite at night ken, especially if its raining and a drop gets on the lens, which it always does. Its good during the day just don't reverse judging the distance by it. Its a wide angle lens and stuff always appears further than it is. Its sole purpose is to see if there's any children behind you.

Cruise control has been available on manual cars for years? I remember the father having a 1992 Maxima that had it and was manual too.

We're talking about adaptive cruise control whereby the car automatically slows if the car in front slows and increases speed up to the desired speed if the car in front does so, it will also come to a complete stop if the car in front does
I don't know how this operates in a manual but seemingly it now can
old cruise control disengaged once you had to brake in order to slow down for the car ahead
