Drive Assist Package - worth it?

[Mountain_Bound]

Do you all enjoy the driver assist package? I've never owned a car with this type of technology. Sometimes I feel like some of these features would be more on a hinderance than a help. Can you toggle what systems you want on/off? Just curious what everyones input is on this. Thanks for your time!

1000% in favor. The Supra has pretty limited visibility. The blind spot monitoring alone is worth the price of the package. Cross traffic alert: how could warning you of a red light runner crossing your path possibly be a hindrance? Also, I love the smart cruise control. Lane warning is sometimes a bit intrusive but can be turned off or minimized.

Just the adaptive cruise control by itself is worth it.

Blind spot monitoring is also worth it because over the shoulder visibility is garbage otherwise.

Parking sensors are also clutch when parallel parking.

Overall, definitely worth it. Don’t see how it would be a hinderance.

The only downside to Driver Assist is getting used to it and then driving another car that doesn't have it.

I use all but lane departure thingy.
Definitely recommend the package.
Do you have to have it? No. But blindspot, cross traffic definitely worth it.
I use the adaptive, returning back home from a tiring day or if the wife had enough with my spirited driving or late braking
You can adjust distance. 4 distance settings.
Other tech, you can turn off easily.
Pro tip: You can add drivers and assign the keys. So you can customize accordingly and grab the key that fits your daily preference

I never seen an A90 at the dealership without the Driver Assist. And yes, you need it!! Visibility sucks on the A90

Thanks for everyone's input. It was the feedback I was looking for

I only added it for resale value

I kind of was thinking that too

Reminds me of the debate over ABS and traction control. People tend to overestimate their driving skill. I remember a road test a number of years ago in Road and Track when pro Corvette driver Tommy Milner was testing a Z06. Even HE found the car undriveable without certain "nannies" turned on.

This is my first car with all the driving assist features and I was pretty indifferent toward them. The blind spot monitoring/lane change assist is helpful (although the vibrating wheel kinda throws me off). The parking assist/proximity warning is sensitive and annoying though.

The Front pre-collision warning system is also kind of sensitive but I guess it's a nice feature to have just in case.

Do you feel like you would of went with again it if you had the choice?

Nope, but then again there’s other factors that would’ve influenced my decision. If the Supra was a daily driver and my only car then I’d get the car with Driver Assist Package.

I didn't spec my car but it came with it. The adaptive cruise control is awesome. The lane departure is a bit annoying even on low setting and makes me paranoid i'd lose control of the car sometimes lol

I like it so much I'm looking to replace my daily with a car with it
