Spec'ing up my next company car. It's going to be a Golf Match but looking at optional extras.

Saw park assist and have looked at the Youtube videos to see what it is all about - I expected it just to be giving guidance, not doing the parking for you.

It looks very impressive especially as it is only £90 (well on the Match it is) and seems a no brainer.

But then second thoughts came in. Would I use it? - I don't often parallel park and when I need to, I can and in much bigger cars than the Golf. Would I trust it? - I know that the driver still has to control the throttle and can override but even so you are putting a lot of faith in the technology (and I'm certain that VW will wash their hands should there be an accident).

So anyone here got it? What do you think, do you use it regularly or is it just a gimmic to show to friends now and then?

Cheers,

Nigel
