horrible turning radius

Anyone else feels that they got a horrible turning radius on their G? Is there anything that can be done about it?

After coming from sedans, I feel like the turning radius is tight on this car!

If you dont like your turn radius you could always turn your VDC of for a few seconds.

LOL I came from a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. Not that the "GT" helped it was still slow as a snail. (Literally 0-60 in eternity) Anyways, the turning radius on that car was horrific. So to me, the G is quite nice in handling, acceleration, and turning radius haha

If you have to make a sharp turn or if your trying to park just lift up on the e brake and turn but yea you just have to adjust to the turning radius... Make wider turns

+1. VDC off, steering wheel turned all the way in the direction you want to go, punch the pedal, and you'll have a very tight turn radius.

you've never drove a truck before have you. I have never had a problem making a U-turn in the G. My truck however, sometimes needs to complete half the u-turn, put in reverse, then forward and complete the u-turn.

^I use this method sometimes, just have to be mindful of the rear-end radius.

I believe our cars turn decently.

My brother had one of those stupid Neon STR-4's and that thing had the turning radius of a mac truck. Actually a blast to drive, but tight turns were a no go in that **** bucket.

I dont have a problem... what kind of turns are you trying to make? I have to make a u-turn twice a day, M-F, for work. Doesn't seem so hard... or short..
+1 on VDC off, turn in direction and gas the SOB!
