I've had seen this on a Volvo a while back and loved it. I think like seatbelts, this & auto brake assist should be mandatory on new cars as safety features.

@Rusty2009 random question; how long do you expect to keep the car for? I often find myself balancing longevity with time & cost, however having just crossed 100k miles (happy mileday to car) with only a shock & mount needing replaced for the MOT I'd love to see my car do another 100k, and get an electric in a couple of years for city driving.

But I look at the car and think "its 8 years old, am I going to sink "new car" money into it over the next 5 years?"

Could do with fixing a number of rust spots for definite before they get worse.

I've had the car from new (my first & last brand new car), when I was looking at cars it was with the intension whatever I bought would last till I ran it into the ground.


In terms of electric cars I would never own one the dribble people are being fed on them is totally misleading and they aren't ZERO emissions most if not all have the batteries built into the floor pan meaning 5-10yrs the batteries will be dead and the car is scrap but that's a whole other debate.

I have some lacquer peel on the body and bumper which on speaking to my paint guy he's told me not to worry about as I have a full respray in the pipe line.
