Do you consider the GTD noisy - engine wise

That's me told     
You're right about the MFD but I was a bit surprised it didn't spot the 2ft x2ft pillar tbh

Sorry Gordor if my reply was a bit terse  it should pick up obstacles but sometimes it either gives you a false beep after its picked something up or sometimes it beeps if something has slightly obscured the sensor.

To be true, the park assist is a bit of a gimmick (first time I have specced it also) I too might have bought it to protect the 19s from the good lady, but it would have driven the car into a pillar in the multi-storey last Thursday if I had let it

that's not the fault of the park assist. nothing wrong with system and it's far from gimmicky. it says before in the mfd to check and your always in charge not the car and if you think it'll save your alloys think again. if the car in front or behind is parked with a wheel touching the kerb the yours will too as it uses the other cars as reference points.

I did wonder whether the extra side sensors would detect the average kerb or not - guessing not...

if your parking yourself then they will beep for the kerb depending on height. if use the park assist it uses the other cars as reference points not the kerb.

Cheers mcmaddy.  Looking forward to trialling it myself.
