Salesman told me my car had cruise control but it doesn't - can I reject the vehicle?

The salesman told me my Ford Fiesta ST has adaptive cruise control but it doesn’t and it can’t be retrofitted. Can I reject the car? The manager says Terms and Conditions says specs can change, but surely they have to tell me rather that hide it.

Have you got it written down somewhere that it will have adaptive cruise control? Unfortunately, if you're going on the word of the sales person alone, you'll struggle to reject the car on this basis. If you keep complaining to your dealer, they might offer you something as a gesture of goodwill. That's probably the best you can hope for.

Can cruise control be added to my MGF and if so can you advise a specialist installer? I live in East Sussex
Just an interesting observation on the 20mph speed limit. I normally set cruise control where possible at 30mph or where there are similar restrictions. However have you tried setting automatic speed control...
When you set auto cruise control and it reads ahead to slow down do the brake lights come when slowing?
