Just got back from Portsmouth £10 there £10 back 120miles round trip 65-70 most of the time, not bad for a 4WD :smug:. The cabin is so much quieter than the Golf too.

Used the park assist for the 2nd time today. Would you believe a C1 attempted to get in the space and drove off! They are a tiny car. I looked at the space. Certainly looked too small for the golf. Decided to let the car decide. :huh: Indicatated, pressed the park assist button. Moved past the space watching the MFD for the reverse arrow.

... it just worked!

It is such a strange experience!

Fiancee was so impressed. She wants it on her next car. :cool:

I had a similar experience in a passat CC I had about 10 months ago, tried it once and said never again.

Maybe practice is the way forward?

I think it's quite good, but needs practice to trust it fully IMO. 

1st thing you need to suss is stopping for a second or so before you hit R and start reversing.  Can seem longer if you've someone behind you and you're under a bit of pressure. Otherwise if you rush it and hit R and start reversing too quickly you just hear a ping and it clicks off.  Same if you go too fast when reversing - just pings off.

Once you get used to these things it's great.  I use it every time now and it can get you into some seriously tight spaces.  Just take your time, the gimp behind pressing to get past will marvel at the space you've just shoehorned yourself into!

My idea of a living nightmare.  :cry: Shoe-horning  yourself into a space to come back and find the other cars either side of you have used your bumpers as stops to get themselves out.

BIG open spaces for me.   :smiley:
