Never used: but plan to keep the Ocean for as long as I can drive, am getting to be pretty old, so might do one day.

I believe it will only help with parallel park. I've never tried it but I keep meaning to, just to satisfy my curiosity on how good it is.

The Cali has fantastic visibility, a good rear view camera and endless parking sensors - it's a doddle to park, I'd argue easier than a lot of cars which have odd shapes/bulbous wings etc. which make the shape deceptive - the Cali is a box.

I like it and use it on occasion. It does a very good job first time and makes you look like you can really park!

Most of the places I park Park Assist believes are impossible.

Don’t use it but did test it when we got the van. It worked very well.

Like others I have only used out of curiosity. Very impressive though.

Likewise - used it once, never bothered again. Probably should use it more for parallel parking to be honest!

Got it - never used it. Keep thinking I should try, but with the rear camera it’s so easy to park anyway !

I thought it was standard, at least on an Ocean. It’s a fascinating tool that avoids scratching your alloys, as long as the space is bigger than I can park in manually easily, so it’s redundant in mine, unless I’m bored and fancy trying it again (once), or my Dad asks to see it again (twice!)

The OP is ordering a Grand Cali, so it’s an option.
