Hold works fine on my car when I'm using Sport +. I normally use Sport + in manual mode when in the city.

Ever tried ACC (adaptive cruise control) in traffic? It's phenomenal! Spent 200 miles in bad traffic last weekend and pretty much let the ACC drive me... From 60mph... To crawling... Back to 60 mph.... To standstill....
Of course i turned it off and hit the gas once the traffic cleared.... But was impressed that over a 270 mile 'painful' journey i achieved 38 mpg. If you cant have the sport you can at least get good economy lol

But I'm not sure I'd really trust it in traffic conditions.. I'm afraid I'd get to comfortable with it in that kind of traffic. I'd be afraid I'd become complacent and start to rely on it, and then there would be some kind of oddball or unexpected situation or car where it didn't behave exactly as i expected and I'd be the cause of an accident.
It is pretty amazing from what I've heard though.. Sorta what scares me..

You're right scatkins... You need to know when to 'hover over the brake' and when to relax. But the real odd-ball behaviour tends to be over-braking if anything. Set it to a longer distance (3 or 4) and you can start to relax in the knowledge that if it did something untoward you have time to rectify it.
In my experience it is damn near perfect... And the things that make it stumble are usually in the safe direction and able to be learned and predicted... Just like driving!
For motorways it is faultless... For town driving you need to be aware of junctions
