How is it like driving a car this big around town? Would it feel cumbersome and annoying to park it or drive in narrow alleys? Or would you just learn to drive it over time?

You just get used to it.

Its easy once you get a feel for the dimensions, just don't fuck up during the first month. Its probably even easier with a backup camera.

Yes, they're cumbersome. You're basically the width of a full-sized pickup.
What really kills it is it's supposed to be "sporty" and yet it won't fit down a twisty road.

And hood design also makes a difference because it can make a big car feel even bigger. In a Z3 you can tell exactly where your right corner is because the hood bulges over the tire and then drops straight down. The edge you can see tells you the edge of your car and you can put that tire within an inch of a cone or the side of the road.

I test drove a M240i and I couldn't tell what fucking state my right front tire was in. Watch this starting at 4:30 and tell me if you can tell where the fuck his right side is, and his GoPro is almost at the roofline.

Europoor detected. No matter how big the Sad Cat is, it's nowhere near the size of the average thing you see at Chick-Fil-A drive-through.

It is, though. Don't confuse a SUV being taller with it being bigger. That thing's within a few inches of a QX80.
>>
>>28862584
I mean... in terms of length and width, it very much is.

I care. I care that this dumb shit stopped in the middle of the road to take a glamor shot.

I love my Z3 too, pal. But I don't fucking stop in the middle of the street to take a picture like an asshole.

im not. i'm aware that 5'5" spics drive full size pick ups all the time in my area
I know objectively theyre not the biggest vehicles on the road
But the seating position is that of a sedan so it's harder to see

sporty means fast
i dont care about all the rest

No, sporty means sporty.
There's a reason people will park their 80MPH SUVs in the parking lot and pay money to drive a 20MPH go-kart.

>>28862346
the main issue is seeing out of it because it's a modern car. if traffic is tight it doesn't matter if you have a small car people still aren't going to let you in

I own cars vastly different in size.
>215" long
>78.2" wide without mirrors
vs
>162" long
>65"wide w/o mirrors
I can tell you the small car feels far less ponderous in tight areas like when I go downtown and is far easier to park in tight areas.

Feels like shit.

Sad what Japan did to the qx80. Took me years to save up for one. Just in time for them to switch from the 5.7 liter v8 to the v6. Nope

My experience is that very few people are on a car's ass enough that you can't dart in if your car is smol enough.

"You thought you were aggressive being a few feet off their ass? Now you're 2 inches off mine."
