Fingers crossed for you then, lets hope you have a troubled free and safe drive all the way back

saw one today driving next to me. it looks completely different on the street among other cars than in the showroom. especially very small tail glass. at one point it stood next to a freelander and freelander was higher and looked bigger in general.

im not at all convinced on the Evoque. even seeing one in the flesh i just cannot make my mind up.

no doubt it will be a massive seller tho.

Well Martin, your gaffer is already working on how to bastardise it isn't he !!!

I think ill make my mind up on september 11th when I get to have one for a week.  

How do you manage to get one for a week, could do with something similar to get the wife on board!

'was fun, wasn't it. Park Assist is a hoot:



Noticeable though that they don't use real cars nor pavements full of prams with babies in to park against. Health and Safety hey. Pah. 

Never been in a car that had it fitted before so I have to say it felt very strange.

If its come to the point where you need park assist, should you really be stll on the road

Yes.

We can drive at a constant speed but we still have cruise control.

You can stop without ABS, steer without PAS, see without xenons but it is all about making life easier in this busy modern world, if I had confidence in it I would use it all the time.

To pass your driving test, you need to be able to parellel park, you do not need cruise control nor do you need xenon headlights or power steering, do you think the DSA would let you use park assist on your driving test
But i see where you are coming from moving with the times and technology Some people just like gadgets

Being a newbie to Park Assist I was very sceptical and assumed you would need a space as long as a football pitch for it to work.......... Having now experienced it, I have to say that it is spot on. Not just a feature for those who naturally find it difficult to park, but also for confident 'parkers' to save them the effort and also reduces the need for an extra shunt or two to get straight. I'm now a Park Assist convert!

Only thing is, you have to unpark yourself afterwards, however getting out of a space is a lot easier than getting in to it!
