As the spec of my new C63S Estate is soon to be frozen I am still trying to decide whether to include the Driving Assistance Package. I normally steer clear of this level of electronic nannying but really appreciate the intelligent cruise control on my Audi in the London traffic jams. My salesman tells me I can switch off everything apart from Distronic Plus if I want to. So my question is "Exactly how clever is Distronic Plus?". Last weekend I read an American review of the C63 (which I can't find now!) which seemed to say the DAP even steered the car in traffic jams up to a certain speed. There is no mention of this in the brochure which doesn't even clearly state if the system is as clever as Audi's which will decelerate, brake to a halt and accelerate relative to the car in front in traffic jams. There are so many variations of the package that it's difficult to tell which bits apply to the C63. I hope you guys can fill me in on the details.
