Yeah. We do have young kids and are always reversing into a driveway. RVC was an important part of our order. I remember the supply problems. RVCs are becoming bog standard (now appearing on entry level Toyotas I recall) and I'm sure would help resale. That said, lets see how much he wants to shift that car in the yard. We could probably live without one if the price is right. Of course there was no tech pack at all when I did the test drive so I might at least go down and enjoy a go in the car they are trying to sell me (which I'm hoping at least has the parking sensors!).

If the stuff up is confirmed and the wife insists on RVC I'm sure there will be dealers wanting to get rid of MY14 Passat wagons for much less than the RS...
