goblues38 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 every time i decide to parralell park, it is usually a spur of the moment thing. traffic in front and behind of me. I never have time to come to a stop, engage the system, then drive slow enough for it to find a spot. If you try to do that process on a crowded street, you will piss everyone off.

racerx78 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I agree it is excessive luxury for most people. But the demographic that buys this type of feature Love features like this, to don't concern themselves with actually learning how to drive the car the bought so they love it, and ACC and auto braking too. Especially with the review camera parallel parking is a breeze, but i do use the Autopark for a laugh when i have passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tss Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I agree that with the rear view camera and front and back parking sensors, Auto Park is more hassle to use than its worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HokieSHO Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I have yet to try it myself - just haven't had the need to parallel park lately it seems, and even if I did I don't know if I'd use it. I agree with racerx78's sentiment. Just learn how to freakin' drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swetrid Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I tried it last night for the first time and it really was quite amazing to me. It got itself into a spot I really thought it wouldn't fit into and parked it about 2 inches away from the curb. I was only worried about it curbing one of my wheels.

goblues38 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 the problem is it takes to much time to engage the system. in most cases where i am parrellel parking, it is on a busy street. if i sit still for an extra 5-10 seconds to engage the system, people start to get pissy or can even steal the spot you are trying to get.

racerx78 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 It typically only takes me a few seconds to get it to engage. Once you find a spot you typically only have to pull right besides the car infront of your spot. The the system will begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other problem is low curb heights will cause you to drive over the curb. It's ok for what it is I use it to gauge if my car can fit into the spot.
