Depth Perception

I had the same problem with mine when I got it in July could not find the front or back of car. About this time I had a detached retana so I put a plastic carbage can that was empty in front of my garage and when I hit it I knew I was in the garage. Side benefit is I begin to understand where the front end of the car was. Now if I don't have a senoir moment and forget what I learned I will be alright. What was the subject anyway.

Never drove one - are they really that bad? I actually have more trouble parking my C5, but I may have less problems with the C4 because I'm so stunningly paranoid about it...

All you can see are the wipers. If you're really tall you can see the very back edge of your hood, I mean the EDGE. If it has a cowl hood you can see some of it.
