I mean this website forum posting site is the only one that's stopping me from bring something I've written on a saved draft page.

Goodonya DaveMc Your reply was exactly the info I was seeking. Cept I was hoping to be wrong about Koleos Intens lack of ACC. What an pity Renault hasn't included or optioned in an Adaptive or Radar type CC in at least the top specced Intens variant. It seems to have everything else you'd expect for an SUV that hovers around the $50k mark with on roads. To other people who are off track with replies. I'd like to cordially add this. As I stated in my OP, it'd be a 400 klm round trip to my nearest Renault Dealership. That aint including the test drive and inspection time. What I didn't say is this. I suffer 24/7 from excruciating, eye watering pain due to Chronic Pancreatitis and the subsequent operation because of it. I had the non dead part of my pancreas resectioned to my stomach and guts. It's a no option life saving operation called a Whipple Procedure, or a Pancreaticoduodenectomy. Unfortunately it's left me in worse pain than the pain of the always deadly Chronic Pancreatitis. M pain is as though I've got boiling liquid in my guts while being sliced open with an electrified razor blade. Extremely nasty. By the time I get to a test vehicle 200 kays away after a near 3 hour drive I'd be in monstrous agony and in no way capable of concentrating on inspecting and driving a strange vehicle around the busy traffic of Wollongong. A few weeks ago I tried it. I drove to the Gong and tested a Merc GLA. I nearly collided with a cyclist. Scared the sh*t out of me.......and the Merc Agent passenger. I reckon that near accident was partly due to the incredible level of pain after driving up there. Anyhow the GLA is too small and the larger GLC I'd prefer is on a 6 month delivery time. 50 klm is my limit. Shop locally once a month and visit me GP. But I want to do it as safely as I can. My Elite i30 Hatch is a top car for its class and I've been happy to own it. But it doesn't have the drive assist safety technology that a specced up SUV has. Regardless of what other people think of driver assist technology I'll take all the help available to me. I haven't written all this to get sympathy, but to show you mostly don't know all the persons circumstances when handing out opinions with replies. However well intentioned you think they are. Fully read a post and reply on the subjective topic as DaveMc has done. It's been excruciatingly painful to sit here and stab out this post with my one finger a time key board style.......epic! That's enuff from me, eeeeeeerz cheeeeeerz to all your ears. And yes a Skoda has been on me radar. I haven't stuck one on my top list simply because of their shape. I reckon they don't look enough SUVish. But I have noticed how superbly equipped they are and might get one.

I tried to paste in a comment that I've copied after drafting into an automatic message saver email. Which I do to stop me accidently deleting things I'm typing. But nothing appears when I click paste to put my message in the forum. Are we deliberately barred from doing this for some reason. I'm always accidently deleting things I'm typing that's why I type in an email draft & save page then copy and paste it in forums or other sites.

It isn't working on this post either. It only allows clio or megane tags

G'day everyone. Before I travel 400 klms to test drive an Intens, can anyone tell me exactly what type of Cruise Control the Intens is equipped with. Is it the same as, or equal to Subaru Foresters Adaptive Cruise Control. If you own an Intens, please let me know how it stacks up to other makes that have ACC. Or Radar Cruise Control. I've seen the Koleos brochures and talked to Renault web chat and I still can't tell exactly, or how good the Intens CC is. In fact, when I asked the web chat bloke if the the Intens CC was as good as ACC he only said, and I quote....."I would say so,yes". Subaru has a video of its Forester's ACC automatically bringing the car to a halt from highway speed. I'm only carting me self around so I only need a mid sized SUV. I've decided to only buy an SUV that has a type of CC comparable to ACC or RCC. I've had no luck in getting a video view of the Intens CC being used. The rest of its features and equipment seems very good and sufficient for me. Eeeeeeerz cheeeeerz to your ears and thanks for any help
