Is your chin scraped?

The first time it happened I almost cried. But I think I'm over it. I still love my baby even though it's had it's chin scraped when backing away from a curb numerous times.

A chin sensor would probably make sense for future models!

Parktronic works very well for this; it is the one option that I don't have that I would really like to have (although otoh, the sensors aren't the most asthetically pleasing!).

But this thing is difficult to park, no question about it.

I would agree, Parktronic does make it alot easier to park the CLS.

I try to back-in parking spaces as much as I can to try to avoid scraping my front spoiler..So far I've been lucky!
