Anything with a manual transmission is awful in cities. I gave up on having a stick-shift after moving to Seattle and realizing how much it sucked to clutch-bump a car for an hour every morning in stop-and-go traffic.

Anything with a manual transmission is a problem in a city with attended parking garages.

If you spend a lot of time in the city you will begin to dislike any vehicle with a standard trans. I know, we all like shifting but keep an eye on your left leg. It’s going to build up nice and strong from all that clutching and your poor right leg will be sad.

Other than the obvious large SUV/truck/delivery van, like many others have said, I’d have to say it was miserable having a manual transmission car (particularly one with a heavy clutch) while living in DC. Clutch in/clutch out in stop and go traffic and around traffic circles was hell on my left knee tendons. Add in…

Literally any vehicle if there’s a halfway decent public transportation system set up in said city. I never understand people owning cars in NYC or DC. It makes absolutely zero sense.

Each and every SUV. Space is at premium in the city. If you are driving one of those obese douchedozers, you are not only making life harder for yourself, but also for the people around you. There are parking garages here where my Mazda 2 wont fit between 2 SUVs in a row of 3 parking spots. For what? Look at this…

As someone living in philadelphia - it’s any car that:

Where I live, any car. Parking per month at the absolute minimum is about $350, which would be more than the monthly payment I would be making on some cheap commuter econobox. Add that to a decent public transit network and the insane cost of gas right now and I’m fine if my main mode of transportation is either the…

Anything bigger than a midsize sedan or smaller crossover.

A Hummer.

Trucks and SUVs are obvious.

In a traditional dense city core or crowded neighborhood, any sort of full-size truck. Hard to park, too big for streets, hard to see out of. Even worse is a modern HD truck, just huge.

Any dually truck and more specifically any extended cab dually truck. looking for a street parking spot? not going to happen, you’re better off taking it to a parking garage. If you do somehow find a spot it is going to stick out into the road so everyone else has to drive around it, it’s going to get scratch to shit,…

Good, because the only reason they became popular was tax breaks.

Vehicles have certainly become both heavier and safer (roughly a 75 percent decrease in rate of traffic deaths per million vehicle miles from 1975 to 2015).

No problem - then we might actually be able to have fun not so high performance cars again. I can have a ball in my 75hp Spitfire, I don’t need 500hp to give me a big boner.

A few states are starting to catch up to that with higher registration fees and pay per mile registration fees. Whatever system gets chosen will likely be a small mess, but alternative methods have been getting studied for several years now to prep for BEVs being more common. 

Came here to say the same.

Good.
