I recently drove my wife’s brand new Ford Fiestaactually it’s not my wife’s we freshly received it from acar leasing company. I realised the benefits of this feature and decided to install a system onto my utility which I use on work sites on a daily bases.
I have now had the system installed for a little over three weeks now and have found it to be of a great use. I have found parking in the past a pain as my ute is large and on occasions asked strangers to help direct me while trying to park. I have great confidence now in the parking sensor i now have no issues parking in tight spaces. it has saved me time and effort continually trying to park carefully. It’s taken out all guess work and fears I had of parking my ute in main streets where parking can be very tight.
I have also found the system very helpful on the work site as visibility out my back window when the ute is full is zero. In the past i have damaged smaller object that I’ve been unable to see due to the fact it’s been near impossible to see out my back window.
If your worried about the sensors effecting how you ute may look and i was one of these as i love how my ute looks and didn’t want it turning into a computer. After installation I was a little worried about how it may look but to my surprise it looked great i couldn’t really tell where the sensors where placed on the exterior and i thought the interior part of the system looked great. So please don’t let the myth of these things looking ugly turn you of a purchase.
A great safety feature and a little piece of mind i would recommend ute buyers to purchase one of these systems in the future.
