I'm all for charity but the mkvi is a chuffing expensive car. Could have got a mkv and given the rest to charity!

Parking camera and esp park assist is relatively cheap compared to cost of the car. I don't need it, but for the sake of my newbie driver wife I think its a good option to have and it is a nice "show off" feature for mates and when it comes to selling time.

Actually I have to confess that despite being an experienced driver, I did reverse into a low post once! A camera would have saved a £1k insurance claim, not to mention the shame of it all!

Yeah, I did this too with a Passat Estate which cost almost £1K to fix. That's part of the reason I want a reverse camera. The other is I don't like all the parking sensors on the bumpers. The real reason though is my son thinks it's cool.

did you both reverse into it at 50mph+? can't see how it would have possibly caused that much damage - bit daft taking it to insurers as well.

 :laugh: mine was a company car and they wanted it fixed. it was only a couple of mph but with VW's parts prices, a bumper cover, some chrome trim, a tail light, some paint, consumables and labour quickly rack up the cost!
