hahahaha true. but then again, i had some difficulty when i first got this car, because my first car and drivers test car was my RSX... that thing fit into spots like nothing..

the TL's auto tilt down is an awesome feature. that itself makes this car more than simple to park the car..

You need your mirrors to tilt directly down to help you go in reverse?

I don't have a hard time parking, but I do have a hard time judging if the space is big enough for me to fit in. I swear are cars are huge

Newsflash. The ability to parallel park is a function of the driver, not the car.

You get more hits when 'parallel' is spelled right.

If thats the case I think you should sell your car and buy a mini

Man, I hope I'm not the one with the car parked behind you when you are parallel parking
Try doing it in a '72 Gran Torino Fastback. I can't even hardly see out the back window. When I first bought the car I backed into a pole..
