They know their 7 speed DSG sucks and it's spreading by word of mouth now. So now they throw in this parking assist to entice people to buy.

The system steers the car into the parking space for you. Driver is still responsible for braking and making sure no kids around etc. It's like cruise control, if you set at 80kmh and bang into a car in front going at 50, you cannot blame the cruise control system.

If car got park and assist, they should put a emblem clearly stating "Park & Assist"

Seriously......what the hell is Volks thinking?

 

I think that the only reason why this tech is installed is to attract more buyers. But one piece of advice, please do not get the auto park assist. Ask yourself this question, are the insurance companies in Sg accepts this tech? What if you are reversing and parking with this tech and it fails thus contacting the rear of other cars; how to claim than? Claim from Volks? You think Volks will take liability? Do take into consideration of Volks reliability whom has the same failure rate as our SMRT.

 

To me, if you cannot park, please do not drive. Do not let driving be a liability to you and your family. Do not be a hazard on the road.

 

I rather Volks improve on their gearbox reliability and after sales service than to intro new models or techs...

I rem seeing on Top Gear, they tested 1 car with such features for parallel parking. However the car rammed into a fence beside the space where it was attempting to park..... [laugh]
