Sometimes it's more than just parking...drive thru's are a pain. Also small streets and curves. Came up over a small drive in a parking lot...very tight and very narrow and it drops down to a lower parking lot--i drove off the road and into the grass...at that point i jacked the seat up to the highest position to avoid any and all blind-spots created by the belt-line.

I think it is the high beltline, especially the high cowl and dashboard. You can't see the road for a long distance in front of the car, or along side the car, which makes parking more difficult. I also rely on the camera a lot more than I thought I would. If you've ever driven a Honda Accord, you notice a big difference in visibility. Like most here, though, I chose the Maxima over the Accord.

On the other hand, I really dislike the back and side visibility at night when it is raining. The 360 view camera gets all blurry and It seems so dark all around. The windows seem to like fogging up, and It doesn't help when a lot of areas are poorly lit to begin with, city trying to save money on street lights
