    EH~~Tis funny as car does not seem big to drive yet must be just about double the length of my old one :eek: :rotfl:

    It's because virtually all the extra length is behind you and follows on nicely. Things will change when you reverse... :rotfl:

    Have not attempted as yet to do on street parking :eek: :rotfl:

    The mirrors are pretty good, so it's relatively easy. Just be careful of the A-pillars - you can lose half a marching band behind those...

    I cant really explain it.
    I can reverse into my drive but i cannot reverse into a parking space on the street. Only me :eek: :rotfl:
