Once you drive a jeep, you will know the meaning of turning radius.
And you can do it with 1 finger, light as a feather.

Glad to see the Jeep guys know what a real turning radius is, lol.

I put a new steering box in my Cherokee and I can pretty much breath on the thing and it will turn...

I never really had an appreciation for a good turning radius while driving my old 93 notch, until one day my uncle gave me his 89 Bronco II. I jumped in it and turned it around in the middle of the street. The difference between it's steering and my car's was absolutely insane. It's like the difference between turning a lap around a pylon on a tricycle and a boat. I also can't believe how easy it is to steer my friend's 97 Crown Vic. It's VERY easy to turn.

I don't drive other cars that much. But I do work for companies that run triathlons so i drive trucks a lot and they usually have a sweet turning radius.

Seems average to me and i've driven my fair share of cars


i was a lot porter at a Chevrolet dealer, a Volvo tech for a few years and a Ford tech as well (drove numerous used cars at each) and the car THE ABSOLUTE WORST turning radius has already been mentioned.... the Volvo S60.

The S60 is a really nice car (turbo models fairly quick too) and after 'o4 they were just absolutely bullet-proof, poor cars just had an inexcusable turning radius, the R being the worst offender

It's very easy to donut the Stang in a tight radius when needed.

Just make sure the traction control is off first. I almost wrecked the Stang doing this when I first bought it and forgot to turn TC off.

I do the same thing for a tight u-turn.

You guys are lucky. Try driving a Fox.

When i bought my SN95 i was amazed that I could now make a U-turn without needing 4 lanes to do so like my '88

Seriously. Sometimes I have to take a side-street to get back to the intersection to make a u-turn
