Thanks for all the kind words! I had minor traffic today and used it. Still getting the hang of it and at times I'm ready to slam the brakes! I will admit, keeping this car clean is no bueno...

First impression on my Distronic experience:


1) Cool that the technology can do such a task, but as previous posts have said the car tends to stay on the right side and at times even touches the lane throughout a mile stretch. Not a fan of this since it's a risk on my behalf to use the setting and have someone on the other side lean towards my lane. It's meant just for assistance so I get why it does this but it's still an area of opportunity. Plus, people think I may be drunk at night time drives...
2) Parktronic is no bueno from my first experience, I tried to have it park between two cars and it ending up hitting the curb. Maybe I just lined myself up with the front car alittle too close...


So far, cool technology, but I'd rather just stick with the 360 surround view camera only.

I drive 25-30k a year just on distronic. My only real complaint it you have a higher chance of falling asleep at the wheel since there is not much for you to do driving wise.

Did you have issues keeping distronic in lane? Mine leans to the right so much where it's about an inch or two away from the marker and at times runs onto it before balancing back out.

Sorry mine is a 2011 so i do have to hold the wheel to steer. The 2014 added the stereoscopic steering assist. Mine has active lane assist where if you veer out it will shake the wheel on a dotted line or steer you back on a solid line.
