i like my 2 dr for daily driving but would love a 4 door full size.

my reasoning... parking!!!! parallel parking my 2 door is so simple that i laugh when i see small spots that others pull past.

To be honest, I personally don't see the 2 doors as easier to park than the 4 doors. I never had an issue parking my mom's Bravada. The turning radius seems larger, but I guess learning in a Suburban makes the difference meager to me.

i drive my 2 door and my mom's envoy xl almost daily.. (when i run around doing errands i drive hers to save me gas) and i can park mine in smaller spaces than most people in sedans try... you just have to know the angles. all parking around my neighborhood is parallel parking which makes life a b***h if you can't do it.

I hate parallel parking. Not that I can't do it...

As far as on the trail, the 4dr is less than 6" longer (176.8" vs 183.3" long), and has ~9" wider turning radius (17.6' vs 18.3'). The wider turning radius could be the difference between backing up and not, but 9" isn't much.

For comparison, the GMT360 have a 18.2" turning radius, but they are 193.4" long which makes them ~17"/11" longer than the 2dr/4dr s-series. They have a 113" wheel base which is 6" longer than the 4dr s-series (107") and 12.5" longer than a 2dr s-series (100.5").
