Totally agree with everything said. One terrific improvement would be if they added Self-Park, which the all electric version has, so it surely couldn't be too difficult or expensive to put into the Mk. 4 as an extra.
Self-Park is an often derided or overlooked feature which some manufacturers ignore and others embrace - my previous car, a Mercedes A160 (the one that Honda seemed to copy for the Jazz) had Self-park even in 2009, and though I've been driving for over 60 years it's still something that's terrific. And yes, I can still park fine, but often prefer not to look at the reversing screen.
