I've been to several parking garages downtown where the last inch of the 330i's turning radius had to be used, and then often use 3 point turns and wait several minutes for other cars to let you by. It's not just that the garages are tight to begin with, but in an effort to milk as much space as possible, they double park cars and reduce the spaces to manuever to next to nothing. Some places wont even let you park yourself, using a convoluted valet system that often takes an eternity to get your car back. Add the low clearance and long overhang and the V70R is a brutal city car.
Finally, we're talking about my wife here. She who hit my 330i in a tight parking garage in Munich within hours of delivery.
