cl turning radius sucks!!!
I love my cl and everything but one thing that is terrible about my car is the turning radius. My lifted F-150 with 36" swampers turned better than this thing. Does anyone else have a horrible turning radius or is something wrong with my car??? Let me know if it's just the CL or if you know whats wrong.

Solution : Get really good at 3 point turns AND DEFINITLY get good at your E-Break. Pull that thing doin like 30mph and that baby will wip around like no other!

yea it works, i've been doing it for a long time, i've even got the car to fully drift around a few turns at speeds upwards of 70mph w/ a little lift of the lever. Just watch out for curbs

Yeah...its cuz the car is pretty long...and since its FWD it has all the tranny and motor and cvs all in the front creating less room for the wheel to turn v. a RWD.

I used to have a 1994 altima and the turning radius was the same, although the CL is slightly longer. It is fine with me cuz that is what i am always used to.

Might i suggest if your a newbie and using the e-break, wait until it just rains alittle and the ground is nice and slick (NO DOWNPORES! that = low visibility and closer curbs...note "me and my mistake") But a nice little shower to slicken up the road works fine!

Compared to my old 1990 Honda Accord that I use to have, the CL's turning radius is wonderful!!!!!!!! No complaints here. My old car was way worse than the CL. So for me the turning radius on the CL is fine
