I learned to parallel park on a Passat station wagon on the streets of Paris. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it, but every car is different. Try to use the one you are most comfortable with.

My first car was a Nissan 200SX and I pretty much learned driving as a Pizza Hut driver. Car lasted 50k before the engine went and the transmission went. At one point I had to park always down hill because R was gone and the starter was shot.

First car, I highly recommend conditioning yourself to always look 500-1000ft in front of you and learn to "absorb" everything between.
