Turning radius

[Gyre]

I love the way the car corners but is it just me or does the turning radius suck when it comes to doing a U-turn?

wouldn't know......don't do uturns.

of course you could always just take a run at the cross over and grab a handfull of E-Brake and whip the rear around and hit the gas. :{D

dude.....the turning radius has nothing to do with how fast it can go in a circle....it has EVERYTHING to do with how big or the SMALLEST circle that the car can make....THAT is what they are talking about.

while I was on vacation, and at my sis in laws house, my nephew got the july or august issue of Road and Track......I posted a thread about this somewhere...anyway....in the back of the mag was a listing of the last 250 cars and trucks they had done comprehensive testing on...and of those 250 ONLY 39 cars could run the 600 foot slolom faster than our cars....and that includes some VERY VERY high dollar rides.....however....that article says the ZO6 will run faster....just a tiny bit....but wouldn't you expect that? BUT...it was the ONLY vette that they tested that would....none of the others could hang!!!

The turning radius of our cars is excellent, and thats coming from a miata owner. If you want to drive a car with a turning radius that rivals a bus, then take a spin in a pt cruiser.

I have to do 3-point turns in places downtown that I could do a U-turn in my old Corolla. I'm parking on the side streets because I'm not going to pay $6 a day to park at work. I'm much happier driving my P5 than my Corolla, though

no doubt about it, the p5 handles like a dream...i drove the matrix before i bought a p5, it felt like driving my aunts toyota sienna minivan
