Rear camera worth it?

Had it on my last 3 vws   Always my first option
the fact that it’s behind the VW badge means that it’s alwaus clean when you need it 👍

Had one on my C Class as its std fit and probably one of the highest quality cameras and like the VW, hidden away so it never gets dirty unlike pretty much every other car. Not got one on the GTI and not missed it to be honest. The Golf is quite small and very easy to park and the back window is the end of the car unlike a saloon for example. The sensors are great so I guess as the saying goes, you pays your money....

I was sceptical when i first added it as an option on my previous Golf GTI.  But I will not be without it now.  An  essential option to add to your car in my opinion.  I use both looking out of windows/in mirrors and at the camera at same time for reversing.  It's just like having an extra mirror to look at which is out of your normal field of view.  Great to use when reversing up to low walls or in a busy areas with small children and objects such as trolleys around such as car parks.  I also find it is an asset on cold mornings when the mirrors are unusable until they have dried off/heated up.

I have it on my car. Really useful for not reversing over my neighbour’s cat who seems to like sleeping and sunbathing on my driveway when the weather’s warm and sunny .

Not a substitute for using your mirrors and windows when reversing, but as others have said, a useful additional aid to see those low down objects behind the car that are out of your field of vision.

It's very useful, if only for checking there's nothing straight behind the car that's too low to see out the window. It'll probably be cheaper than replacing the rear bumper if it saves you reversing over a bike or something.

I couldn't be without it anymore, rely on it for tight parallel parking and general reversing as pointed out objects at ground level. The sensors beep so much at relatively distant objects one tends to not take absolute notice. I think it's good value all things considered, unlike most other extras!

[I wanted a GTi]

On some cars it's a must have like on my CC but on a Golf no there is no need at all for one.

Of course!, is one of the best option!. Hate Parking sensors, with this you see exactly how close you are I can attach my trailer without adjust it 

In the US..

Love it...I use it to double-check that I definitely definitely definitely have put my security bollard down...
Sensors are beeping anyway due to proximity of my sons car. Trouble is it has spoilt me for when I drive a car without...

It's a great piece of kit and I'm very glad that I decided to spec it.
I'm not sure how much it costs now but it was pretty cheap when I got my car so was a no brainer really.
I would imagine it's even better on the larger screens of the facelift models
