I don't really understand why people want to reverse park all the time. I usually want to put things in the back of my car, so it is much more convenient if that is pointing out.

When you reverse park, you pull forward into traffic when leaving. I can still put stuff in the car when I'm reversed, unless it's a big chunky item then I'll plan ahead.

I personally like backing in when I can do it.

Parking between 2 large cars with a small hatch back is a nightmare to navigate when you're leaving and having to reverse.

So much easier leaving when reverse parked. I only front park when there's too much traffic around or I need to get in quickly to do something.
