i think that new cee'd looked nice  :embarrassed:

Looked like an Astra to me plus no cheaper than a Focus and will shed money so little point in buying one tbh.

That was my initial thought. Come to resale time Kia's aren't going to worth anything regardless of how well equipped they are.

I drove a Skoda demo car that had auto parallel park back in 2006.   So it has just taken till the last few years for it to be an option on the everyday hatchback.

If you can't park your own car you should have your licence taken away immediately.

A daft statement.   The feature is available whether you can park or not.

Same as auto-headlights with auto-dipping full beam.  It doesn't matter if the person driving it can or cannot operate their lights correctly.

Cruise control doesn't care whether you can maintain a steady speed or not, but it will do it for you.

These are simply luxury / convenience features.

Yh but would you rather some one who can't park properly that's about to park next to your car, do it on there own and risk hitting your car, or use the parking feature and do it fine? Jus sayin.



Ps this feature would help my sister out, she can't park for sh!t!
