Do you guys find it hard to parallel park this car?

Yeah I do, it feels a lot wider than the 350 plus with these wheels I get extra paranoid. I re-adjust the side mirrors down more so I can see the curb, that really helps.

I am not nearly as comfortable parallel parking this car as I am other cars because of the very limited visibility like you said and because I would kick myself if I were to grind my wheels on the curb (Make that double if my wife were in the car with me). I have moved my side mirrors so far out to cover my blind spots that they are of no help with parallel parking now.

My wife cannot parallel park at all. For years I have tried to tell her its easy, and show her just how easy it is. Stop, back rear end in, swing front into place. no problem. perfect on the first try. except now I am (over cautiously) easing in like an old woman facing the task for the first time in her life. Needless to say my wife will never try it now.
