For some, the right car for the job is a late model compact or a stylish economy car. Others may reason that an intermediate SUV or saloon seat all passengers and offers an upgrade in comfort. Discounting the narrow streets you may encounter in the older sections of the city either option is a wise choice. Plymouth is relatively flat with no areas of significant elevation so it’s a driver’s dream.
The speed limit for all vehicular traffic within the city limits is 30mph, but along certain sections of the A374 you can accelerate to 50mph. Speeds may be further reduced around educational institutions, hospitals and other important buildings and docklands. You can accelerate to 50mph along the sections of the A386 carriageway and about 60mph on the Devon Expressway. Due to its flat surface, speeding is endemic, so CCTV and traffic cams are in full force on the major roadways.
On-street parking provided by Plymouth City Council within its six zones is possible for a fee of about £1.50 per hour. Car parks, such as the Civic Centre Car Park, litter the northern section of the city where the A374 transits and is close to its cultural pulse. The rate there is £1.30 per hour for a maximum of stay of 3h.

The BMW 3 series as their luxury range lets them down but at £200/w cheaper than the nearest competitor, it can be forgiven2 locations in Plymouth
