Parktronic -- For those in doubt

I decided not to get the parktronic on my e500...too much technology, I guess.

However, I had a rental Jaguar S Type last week w/ Parktronic and I am SOLD on the feature. It takes (most of) the pain away from parallel parking and worked flawlessly.

For those of you interested in the S-Type...Nice enough car but not even close to the e-class, any way you slice it.

I got parktronic by default but I must say it works very well.

Parktronic rocks, I would never have a car without it (now that I have used it so much)

had it on our w210, naturally ordered it on our w211, misses some lower objects though, but then again that isnt its primary function, its for parking, and in that sense it works just fine
