The 10 Best and Worst Cars For City Driving

by BENGT HALVORSON, Associated Press
Buick Park Avenue Ultra
Turning Radius: 20.5 feet
Length: 206.8 inches
Width: 74.7 inches
City Snags: Length and turning radius too long; rear overhang

Its name calls out to the city, and this year's "Special Edition" model even carries a badge illustrating the Manhattan skyline.  But this traditional big American sedan isn't very easy to maneuver in tight city streets. It's longer than most sedans and SUVs, plus there's a lot of overhang in back, making it a challenge to parallel park in tight spots. The Park Avenue's soft suspension really does soak up the potholes, and it's a roomy and comfortable highway cruiser just a little oversized for urban life.
