I thought you might like to comment on the way the 2007 Lexus IS250 cruise control operates when resuming from a speed below that saved in the system. Rather than accelerating steadily (cruising?) back to speed, the system acts like the accelerator has been pushed to the floor, the gearbox kicks down gears and the car leaps forward to get to target speed as soon as possible. I am told this is how it works by my Lexus dealer, but this is dangerous if the user doesn't expect it, it wastes fuel and is contrary to the concept of relaxed motoring using cruise control. It is true I can allow for it and I now don't resume cruise until within 1 mph below target (or any speed above); I just shouldn't have to worry about it. Do all cruise controls on automatic cars work this way?
