I live in Queens. It's handled the worst streets new york has to offer like a champ. But city mileage isn't great obviously. It has enough power to get you out of trouble and around awful drivers. I had a honda accord before the X and I find it just as easy to parallel park. I can't take turns as quick or as sharply as I'd like but it comes with the territory. I hope you decide to get one and good luck!
Live in NYC also, and agree. Hiway gas mileage is better then sticker, city driving is pure hell on mileage. If you do a whole tank in city traffice, figure about 11-12 miles a gallon.
Parking is easy. Truck is a tough going over all the pot holes and city imperfections.
I got some small mirrors to add to side view, and I am very pleased with them. No blind spots with the extra mirror.
Stay safe
