I took my driver’s test yesterday, & failed because the front bumper touched a cone. It didn’t fall, it moved though. I’m going back Monday to retake it, in a different car though. This time it will be in a Ford Focus station wagon. I can’t help but think it will be harder to back out in it. Does anyone know if that’s the case? Thanks for the help!
THANKS MARK & ERICA ESPECIALLY 
A car you are used to will be easier to pass the test in than a car you aren’t used to driving. What’s the big hurry? Practice some more so you don’t hit things, and after you pass the test keep practicing. Bumping a cone is like scratching somebody’s car in a parking lot. You can drive away from the cone, but the scratched car is going to cost you. Spend the day parking on Saturday. There are so many folks driving these days who just barely passed and then went on to get worse as they drive with low skill and collect bad habits.

I taught my wife to drive, and she had trouble with parking our cars. The one car she could back up and parallel park like a pro was our Camry station wagon. She was able to look out the back and see the end of the car. It may be different for you, but the station wagon helped my wife a lot.

Most likely yes, but it isn’t so much the size of the vehicle that will give you the problem as it is the vision that is allowed. Mostly too, it is just what you get used to. Best to take your test in the vehicle you are most accustom to driving.

With the wagon, you can judge the distance better because the rear glass is right at the bumper(6 more inches or so). A sedan you have to see the edge of the trunk to know the distance.
