Turning radius

Dont you guys hate k turning multiple times to get out of a street? sometimes it gets a little rediculous.. the g probably has the worst turrning radius. guess it has to compensate for the awesome handling

I was not expecting that from RWD car.

My FWD Volkswagen does much better job.

I found it to be fantastic after owning two Maximas. The Maxima has to be the worst.

Are you kidding?? The G has the best turning radius of any car I've driven in years, including my accord, maxima, and various rentals.

My old IS300 had a turning radius that made the G seem like a semi-truck.

Remember though, the G ain't a small car. It's designed to handle like a small quick car, but compared to most cars in it's class (compact sport sedans like the 3-series, and Lexus IS) it's a big car.

The G is almost the size of a 5 series. Don't forget the X has a 1 foot larger turing radius than a rwd G.

I hate to disagree...but it has a perfectly acceptable turning radius.

My S60R's had, simply put, the worst of any sedan that size ever. You could turn a Ford Excursion around in less feet than an R. One of the reasons i got rid of it.

The G is great considering front midship and the long snout.

Yeah the G35 has an impressive turning radius, especially factoring in its length.

No complaints here.

I think my Maxima is worse than turning a crew cab dually. :-)

I find the turning radius of my G really pretty good.

no problem with the G's turning radius,, I've driven a few other cars from different classes and this has to be one of the best.
