I wish to replace my 2001reg BMW Compact automatic, fitted with push/pull type hand controls and a steering wheel peg. Ideally I am looking for a front wheel drive car of similar reliability, size and build with a slightly higher seating position to enable easier access. It has a BMW multi function steering wheel that enables me to access the cruise control (which I use frequently) with my right thumb while covering the hand accelerator/brake control. Many new car models have stalk mounted cruise control - mainly on the left which would require me to take my hand off the steering peg to operate - not a good idea. Most conversions for hand controls do not include a means of making the cruise control accessible whilst using the hand controls. Any suggestions for a replacement that has cruise control that is operated from the steering wheel would be appreciated.
