How is parking a 570?.. as in how close can you get to other cars, when I was looking at one a couple of weeks ago, with the door swing, it looked impossible to get close to another car, which in my head wouldn't work in a normal width car park space?

any help would be appreciated.

It’s not that bad at all , I don’t have much issue but I always look for a wider spot

It's not so much parking next to other cars but rather parking next to normal height kurbs, you have to leave a good 5-6 inches between the wheel and kurb to even be able to open the door.

Wider spot is definitely needed. End of the row is always preferred.

It can be tricky in my experience.

Definitely worse than a normal car. The door opens very wide when it goes up

You can get in with the door half open too, its not too bad IMO. If you're used to a coupe with long doors it is not that different. Keep a rag in the frunk to drape over the door if you encounter a tight fit (ooer). I've not had to use it yet.

I was worried about my garage as well. All the measurements said it would be a struggle. Had a Nissan GTR which was also tight, but after getting the demonstrator for the weekend it fitted surprisingly well.

Its the door swing in top position if I reverse park in which I think will struggle... I had a demo Audi R8 in there a couple of week ago, and there was loads of room for the door, so fingers crossed with the door going up it should be ok.

I pick my car up next week!.. I cant wait.

Thanks for your help

I can’t open the door fully. The door goes up about three quarters of the way which is plenty room to get in and out. Doesn’t even need as much as that.

Good luck, you will love it.
