As a European living in America I disagree. The one value of metric vs imperial is that you (for the most part) don't have to do any math when converting between units.
If I have 1.73 miles, I have to do the math to figure out how many feet that is, 1.73*5280~=9134, which is not something that's easy for me to do in my head.
However, 1.73 km is 1730 meters, which is way easier (at least for me, but that might be my bias).
