Cars that are hard to park

[H4Z4RD]

Like any other bloke I pride myself on a good parking job. My last car was a 2010 WRX hatch which I found really difficult to park. Funny thing is I find my new commodore simple to park, even though it's much larger.

Of course the park assist helps but even with it switched off or with me not paying attention to it it's a surprisingly easy car to park.

Anybody else found this with other cars? What other small/large cars are easy/tricky to park?

MY11 Jeep Wrangler is a bitch to park. Current C Class mercs are a breeze. Old ferraris are bad for parking (but you'd put up with it!). Most VWs are pretty good. My ute is easier to reverse park since lowering - mainly because I'm not looking straight up out of the rear window and can see things that are lower than 6ft tall.

LOL... I find my Cherokee alot easier to park than my VN Wags...

Triton with a tinted window canopy and no reversing camera >.< Easy to park, as long as you don't mind denting things below headheight. Can't see below that. Yet to hit any thing though.

BA RTV falcon ute with a canopy - absolute nightmare to park. The mirrors give an excellent view of the tray sides though.

My VX at times, you cant see where the back of the car is due to the stupid rear window.

I find my calais easy to park but the rear sensor are ####ing annoying and really put me off beeping at shit when you are no where near it. I tell u those 4wds you know the sort, the ones that never see dirt man they must be bloody hard to park because everytime I come across one it never seems to be in the middle of a spot usually right on or over the lines. Or maybe its just the dopey soccer mums that can't drive.

i got a 66 impala. something like 5.5 meters long. try parking that

[undersuspicion]

had an old vk with power assisted steering (i think) and that was a breeze to park. Ari that would be insane trying to park that in a standard parking bay.

Anything Bigger then a Prius is hard to park lol

Every now and then I take my mums 1980ish Jaguar xj6 for a spin. The fact its so long and has the worst turning circle make it a nightmare to park. Makes me appreciate how easy my vy is to drive/park.

I've never had a problem parking cars but have 2 features with the E3 that I have never had before. The park assist things (both front and rear) are super annoying and I'm currently investigating how to get rid of them. I will admit the reverse camera is awesome though. Can parallel park in those tight spaces with near mm precision, plus reverse up to trailers 1st up every time. Highly recommend that feature.

Ford courier dual cab with canopy. Try get in a parking lot with that and car's around. Nightmare. Mind you the new patrol is awesome to reverse park especially being auto.

hiace with big roof and blacked out windows...........always reverse park!!!!

[SUSS8]

my jeep (currently for sale) can get hard to park because of the plastic bumpers, so I just reverse it =]

My old HZ windowless panno was a bit difficult, but manageable.

Parking will become a lost art as parking assist/reverse cameras become the norm. Although some of the efforts I've seen seem to point that way already.

Commodores are a piece of piss to park.

Western star with a dog trailer .... Oh wait you said cars ummmm those Holden berlinas are hard if your 6"1 lol

[Astranomical]

The van at my old place of work - some Mercedes thing thats probably about the same size as a Hiace. not really that big all things considered, however when driving it I felt like I was piloting the Titanic. In comparison, despite my mother's complaints about how big it is, i find Dad's VE is a piece of piss to drive and to park.
