Just wondering for those of you who have driven a 2nd gen and a 3rd gen which of the 2 has a better turning circle and is easier to manouver say parking-wise or are they both about the same? :confused:

I hate parking altogether!

Yes, I'm asian, but don't usually have issues with parking. I find reverse parking easier to do than going straight in these days :nuts: Despite saying all this, Mr. Altera needs parking lessons :bowrofl: :P

Its all relative to the drivers skill.

Me.. I can park any vehicle into any spot so long as the space is big enough for the vehicle to fit into.. Perfectly.. always...

its all about skill, View (not always but knowing the physical size of your car helps a lot) and confidence.

Yeh Yeh, the high ass of the magna was a bit annoying in the beginning

i dont bother parking straight in anymore, with the big ass turning circle off magnas most spots are just a pain.. reverse parkings alot easier, u can use the mirrors to see where ur going, instead of bobbing your head up and checking.

okay cool but is there much difference between a 2nd gen and a 3rd gen? which is better in this respect?

I've owned both...actually I've owned all 3 gens. I think the KR Verada was a little easier to park but I think the turning circle was about the same.
