My first time in Toronto, I selected a compact(or damn close to it, I forget exactly which model) based 100% on wanting more maneuverability and room for decision making.. Get there, "sorry this vehicle isn't ready...", take the free upgrade to a full sized fully loaded SUV, fail.
I'll definitely agree that a lifetime of bad traffic in Edmonton or Calgary were nothing to two weeks being a tourist in the GTA.
Also funny that IMO, traffic has always appeared far more congested to me in edmonton than Calgary, even though Calgary has a substantially larger population.
