    Supposedly, the sensors are so good that the car can determine if the space available is big enough for it to get in. If the space is too small, it won't even try and the assist won't engage.

    Love tap. Lol. I am either on the curb or too far away!

    If those sensors are anything like the TPMS sensors, I wouldn't trust them to work right at all.

    I like the way the Honda does it also, pretty smooth but hard on the tires.

    I am looking for a new SUV. It is tough to make a new decision. I loved the range rover sport but 9 MPG......terrible.
