What Type of Car Is Best for the New York Road Test in 2025?
I’m getting ready for my NY road test and want to choose the right vehicle. Should I use a compact sedan, an SUV, or does the type of car make little difference as long as it’s in good condition?

In my opinion, a compact sedan is usually the easiest choice for a New York road test because it’s simpler to park, easier to judge distances with, and more comfortable for beginners. That said, any vehicle can work if it’s in good condition and you’re familiar with it. Before my exam, I read https://roadtestnyc.com/articles/how-to-choose-car-for-road-test, and it gave me useful tips on selecting the right car and avoiding common mistakes. The biggest advantage comes from practicing in the same vehicle you’ll use on test day.

That makes total sense, especially since parallel parking is always the part people worry about most. Did you find that a smaller car made sliding into tight spots way easier during practice?

Absolutely! A compact car makes all the difference when you’re trying to line up your mirrors and fit into tight spaces without hitting the curb.
