Know where you are going. In some areas of Lansing, like downtown, it is extremely difficult to navigate in congested traffic if you do not know where you're going or don't have accurate directions. Give yourself enough time to get to where you are going. There are very busy roads with a lot of traf ...

There are several car dealerships in this area. That's probably where I would start. Most specifically deal with particular manufacturers, although several sell many different makes of car. I would probably choose a dealership by what kind of car I was looking for first, and by family or friends' re ... (more) commendations on who to work with. Online research would probably be the most benefit if you were not familiar with what dealers were around here.

I don't really have a favorite memory from driving in Lansing. I have lived in this area my entire life so driving around is pretty routine. I suppose my favorite driving experience would be driving around the State Capitol. It is my favorite not because of the actual experience, because that actual ...

Waverly Rd. - It's my favorite because it is the road my parents live on. It's the one I'm most familiar with and know exactly where it goes. Since it has been repaired in several places it's much better than it was. The road conditions around Michigan are kind of horrible, and this road is no exception in some p ...

Do not drive on 496 east during rush hour. It often is at a standstill or at the very least, backed up. Due to the many on/off ramps on this stretch, it can get very bogged down. People either drive way too fast or way too slow on this road.

I have never purchased a car in the city proper, but there are numerous car dealerships on Michigan avenue and on the west side of the city. Sundance car dealership is known to have a large selection, though I've heard they may have shady dealings. I would recommend searching online prior to searchi ... (more) ng in person. As I stated, there are many brick and mortar dealerships in and around the city.

My favorite memory from driving in Lansing, Michigan is driving down 496 and viewing the downtown skyline in the evening during Christmas. The buildings are all lighted and it makes the city look nice. You can also see just how many trees are in the city from this vantage, since you are at a higher ... (more) vantage point.

Peacock Rd - This road is not technically in the city, but I enjoy driving on it because it is rural. It has hills and sharp turns, and is a dirt road. It is a quiet road and not very wide. During the fall you can see the colors of the changing trees quite well.

Avoid driving on 57 during lunch and rush hour. It gets extremely busy and people don't pay attention so there tends to be a lot of accident there during those times.

There isn't much to choose from. We have Sundance and that's about it and frankly I would drive to another town or buy from an individual instead of going there, terrible customer service.

57 Is always busy and when you get near the fast food restaurant/gas station/Kroger area it can get downright scary driving though there .It's 2 lanes each way with 2 turn lanes as well and plenty of traffic. I always avoid driving there at rush hour and lunch but if your lucky you can drive though ... (more) there on a weekend, or late at night and there is little to no traffic. It's quiet, easy to drive and with the stores and business around there is lots to look at.

Lansing Street - It's a main road that will pretty much take you to wherever you need to go. It will get you to the highway, the freeway, all the schools. Most of the secondary roads run through Lansing Street as well.
