I received my car in August 2010 with parking assistant. This option was ordered specifically for use of the second driver – my wife. After a short testing though, I was convinced suggesting my wife to use it would be a stupid idea…
It was making OK parking in only 50% of the cases. In the rest cases it would not identify spaces, or try to squeeze in where it was obviously inadequate space, or driving onto the kerb, etc.
Recently, I tried using it again as a show off… and surprise-surprise it seemed to work fine. I should confess I upgraded the i-drive software in January 2011, which could have helped.
Still, next time I would rather spend the money on some other option, rather than this one. Too many ifs and buts…. And after all it is not so cheap, it is almost the price of 4-wheel drive!
