That's true Mike... I'm so small I find big cars well, just too big and driver's seats are like settees to me so yes, I suppose a C1-size car just all-round fits me better!

They are a devil to park and reverse due to their size and shape. I still struggle now and must look out with the door open to see exactly where I am in a parking space.

On the plus-side, they'll fit even the tightest of parking spaces...

I'm seriously considering a Cactus as my next car, especially after the review written by Jody in this very forum :)

I found myself usually parking miles away from everything with the 107. They are very deceiving. Yet the only car I have scraped the bumper of when parking for a long time was said 107.
I managed to get both mirrors on the first c5 as the space between harled house and harled next door was about two inches wider than the car!

We are kind of in the market for a smaller car than the C5, so that SWIMBO can get rid of her Clio and drive a "family car".

4Me....when you care for or just transport someone with a limit to their mobility, the C5 is and has proved very important due to the ability to raise and lower, in my case this is getting more important all the time. Its great your situation will keep getting better but maybe it is a system that can offer unique advantages when needed.

What it does also do is allow (my old Mother) to get in and out without me "fussing" all about her to much....I have to resist the "gentlemanly need to help" at times and let her just get in..:)
