What is it like to live with a full size yank? Surely too big for daily use?

Its quite a motor though, I was going to buy a mercury monarch a couple of years ago but decided against it due to the size, and the monarch isnt much bigger than a granada

[akku]

The Monarch is smaller than the Pontiac for sure.

I drive a full size yank every day (when it works) and the only problem I have is parking in the city. NCPs are often no-go areas, you ground out on the ramps and the bays are to tight with not enough turning space.

On-street parking can also be a challenge.

I park my Olds in a multi story every day for work but only because theres a space for me on the ground floor. The attendants have actually reserved it as my space LOL. Its an extra wide disabled space.

A couple of the city NCPs I can get the Buick in (its not as low as the Olds so I can get up the ramps although I do scrape the exhausts).

A smaller yank with stock ride height should be fine. I used to take my Chrysler Fifth Avenue anywhere and everywhere. Its just that bit narrower and shorted than a proper full size (its a down sized full size to be exact!). I miss that car

[B-8-D]

used the poncho for ages to and from work every day..
(midsomer norton to westbury wilts.) i did from 300 to 400 miles a week in it.
to the shops, long runs, everything...
because its rhd i never found it a problem..
on gas it was cheeper to use that my wifes 2l 190 merc....!
on a tank about 26quid.. i could do 300 to 350 miles... so not bad..

Hi There,

I own this car now. Bought it off Will. Its been back with Neville Partridge now for nearly two years and we have totally bare metalled it and replaced both front wings, four new door skins, sorted the bonnet and roof etc etc. Shes currently in grey primer and awaiting a respray in the new year. Pop down and have a look if you want!

Cheers
Ian
