I was thinking more along the lines of strong crosswinds. Bassjoos said his tail does make for getting pushed around a little more in crosswinds, but not terrible.
And for city, I was thinking if you had to parallel park or even park in a really tight spot. I know around here there are a lot of places that are a pain to get out of even with one of my mid size cars with no tail. Many parking lots have screwy angles and are cramped, and people tend to just park wherever they feel like. The local gas station is a real pain, I've gotten to where I always just park in back, even before the tail. Also like say trying to back out when a larger vehicle is parked next to you, you'd have the tail all the way out before you can even see if anyone iis coming to smash into you. I get this a lot, and so even when going to McDonalds or something, I park at the back of the lot.
