In certain country villages and towns, if you go to the center of town, you'll find that a Yaris would barely make it through some of these streets, in some cases it just won't. I'm not sure I have a picture in my HD, I'll look. The very narrow streets in Paris have been transformed to pedestrian-only areas. |

As for the parallel parking, I don't think I could park a car where they do. And, yes, just about every car on the street has a chewed up bumper as a result. |

nice pics
Thanks for the great post w pics. Next year we're supposed to get a few more subs; Ford KA, Chevy Beat (to be renamed Spark I think) & I think a Chrysler version of the Fiat 500. Wish we could get a subcompact SUV 4WD like my 95 Geo Tracker or the late 90's 2 door Rav4.
