If your not interested Passa, why ask??

Where exactly did he say he wasn't interested? :huh:

His first post  :grin:

Not interested in the gadget, but interested in the reply to his question; at least that's how I interpreted his post.

i'm pretty sure i'ts one side only. at least thats what my stealer told me.
then again my gti apparently has a turbo and supercharger  :shocked:
It is both sides, you drive past the space with the indicator on and it then guides you in for extra £80 or what ever it is it is worth having just for the shock value when you have others in the car.

Cheers guys. I haven't seen a golf with the park assist in the flesh so didn't know if they had 4 big chunks out the bumpers or just 2.
It makes sense to have the 4.

Yes, it does. More than a gimmick though - it's part of the gradual automation of driving.

I'm astounded!! I never contemplated getting it, though, seeing as how I have been parallel parking by myself for nearly 30 years with no difficulty.

I wouldn't get it either. But in 30 years you might have people on the roads who have never parked a car by themselves... :shocked: or changed gear either :grin:

It's all good stuff.
The sooner gear changing is made illegal the better.
Top gear overtakers with 30 bhp at 1500 rpm are to blaim.  Why should these manual gearbox cheapskates endanger all of our lives?
