Front parking sensors

Hi all, does anyone find the front parking sensors really annoying, I am talking about the outer one's which go frantic when entering a garage etc.
Just wanted them to assist with judging the distance to a object in front.
Am thinking about disabling the outer one's, to just give the function I need.

Re: Mazda CX-3 iStop - problem or no problem?

I also agree if manufactures fit istop they can claim lower emission figures for there vehicles. That being said it is annoying if you have a feature on your car that doesn't work as it should. Although the istop works seamlessly on mine.

Re: One month of ownership , first DISASTER

Re: Coolant usage

Thanks for your replys gents will monitor it for a while. Still wonder though if other petrol CX3's use

Coolant usage

I notice on my petrol CX3 that the coolant level has dropped by about 2 centimetres over the first 800 miles. I purchased some FL22 in anticipation of top ups being required, however this seems excessive for a modern car with a sealed cooling system. The checks were carried out of course with a cold...

Exhaust noise

Had my petrol Sport Nav for a Month, noticed it emits a really loud baubling/spitting noise from the left side exhaust when stationary at tickover speed. Clearly hear it from inside the car.
I am used to diesel engines, is this par for the course with this vehicle, your comments would be appreciated.
