Are the 2010 Ford Fiesta Zetec diesel and new Volkswagen Polo available with cruise control?
I intend buying a new car soon, but I cannot decide between a 2010 Ford Fiesta Zetec diesel or a new Polo diesel. Also is it possible to get cruise control on either one?

I haven't seen cruise control on either. You need a Citroen, Peugeot or Renault for that. Most manufacturers now have diesels under 100g/km and therefore free of tax. But unless you do more than 15,000 miles a year, potential DPF and DMF problems mean best not to buy a diesel.
