Affirmative. My daily commute is ~110 miles round-trip, of which 100 of it is on the expressway.

It will actually slow you down (including stomping on the brakes if necessary) down to about ~13 miles per hour before it shuts off.

With the ACC and the lane assist (which literally steers you back into your lane), it's about as close to autonomous driving as I've seen ...

The new turn signal actuation is much refined IMO, and yes, less loud as well!! It has a nice low key, but noticeable "click".

I had a 2012. I really like the changes in my 2015.

While it retains the "3 blinks" for a slight (non-locking) push of the turn signal, it now also has a detent (stays physically locked up or down at full pull) for when you DO want to put it on continuously (unlike the previous versions that would flash continuously even though the stick moved back to the original position).

The best of both worlds, I think. And, yes, it's a little softer sounding.

Anybody have the massaging seats and are they any good? I ordered them on my KR as it comes in the 601a package.

I would have you ask my wife but she won't get out of the truck...

She loves them! I like them but not as much as her...

I'd say those are precisely the conditions where adaptive cruise is the most useful. I've had it for 4.5 years on my MKX and I absolutely refused to buy a new vehicle without it - and that explains why I've had to wait 3 years for a new truck. I use it at least 90% of my driving and that includes a lot of city driving.
