The Firefly + boat tail is considerably shorter than the most popular vehicle sold year after year in the United States, anyway (Ford F-150 pickup).

So in terms of length, parking or driving it is nothing out of the "ordinary".

You're right that visibility was (obviously) an issue, and it'll be addressed in the "good" version.
