One of the things i've noticed while driving this car is you really need to get the feel for the car and know the distances / how close you are between the car and objects/people/cars. It was really hard for me at first because you can't see where the end of your hood or trunk is because the car is so long and I would always park too far away because I thought I was closer then I was I haven't paralleled the SC yet but I have a feeling it won't be easy, i'm not a good parallel parker anyways so . Is this just me or when you first started driving your SC it just was kind of freaky (especially after driving my small *** 90 prelude which you could see every part of the car) but i really feel alot more secure now that i've driven the car quite a bit

May be just you dude. I went from driving a 240sx (which I could whip around and park at unsafe speeds with ease) to my SC which I also got around in with no issues. If you think you need to get a better feel for the size/length of the car just keep driving/parking mastery should kick in eventually...

I'm so used to my car, I know every inch of it.

Now, parking a Honda Accord with a big ars where you can't see the top of the hood of the car behind you, that's a challenge.

I learned how to drive in a Ford Expedition, graduated to an SC400... been driving one since 2000

I find it's pretty easy to move around on the highway, just keep your eyes on the mirror... the front end will come with a little time.

John! where've you been? Found another SC yet? pm me if you prefer.

Hey man,

Start by getting some of the little blind spot mirrors - those things are awesome. I have had them in all of my cars and don't feel they look tacky at all.

Parallel parking in the SC is simple.

Also, first time I have ever seen a guy admit to being bad at parallel parking!! I thought only chics were bad at it!!

Peace,
Jonny

lol well i've only done it a few times since I got my license because I don't really go in the city except for my grandma the prelude was very easy to parallel because it was so small and had 4 wheel steering. I can parallel the SC but in really tight spots I bet i'd get real nervous about scratching my baby

There was nothing to get used to for me....I've always owned cars with looong hoods. Previous cars were Infinity J30, 2 Camaro's, 2 Monte Carlo's....all long nosed rides.

prelude has four wheel steering? wow

andy2003si

Yes the 88-91 had mechanical 4ws and the 92-96 had electronic controlled 4ws which failed alot so they stopped making them 4ws. Oh it's not standard pretty much a rare option, turn the wheel a little the rear wheels turn the same way turn it sharp and they turn the opposite way (it deactivates above 30 mph though) it's great for u-turns when you cut it the whole way because the rear wheels go the opposite way getting a better turning circle

try driving a 350Z... talk about blind spots

The SC's rear pillars can cause a little hassle sometimes, I have noticed.

not too bad, hood is long... but everything else is cool, you sit a bit low compared to hondas and stuff (accords, civics)

every car takes getting used to, got in a Malibu rental today and took me 30 minutes to get used to it

I love my 240, the things tiny.... S14 has better visibility than my old S13 hatch...
