5. Finally, to folks who live in congested urban areas with little access to "the twisties", maneuverability in jammed parking lots and side streets is important and this is not a trivial issue. If it's not important to you, fine, but it's not really fair to criticize those of us for whom it is an important consideration.[/QUOTE]
I live in downtown Philadelphia, park in an urban parking garage and park on the streets all of the time, both left and right hand parallel park. The turning radius has no bearing on parallel parking that I can determine; if the car is positioned correctly on the back-in, it takes one cramp in and one to straighten up, both tight but both well within the car's metrics. Can fit in any space ten inches longer than my car with two cuts in, anything more is a breeze, frankly. Only challenge I face is the TSX is about 10" longer than my old car. I have not found the car at all difficult to handle in any parking lot I've faced yet. I've done a few ubies, and the car's wide stance shows up then. Have yet to do a K-turn when I intended to do a full u-turn. Radius affecting the ability to turn on tight streets? Follow Philly's dump trucks and busses threading their way through Society Hill, with a street infrastructure suited to carriage trade of the 1690's and not widened since.......... Not an issue. Really.
as for the "twisties", I take the car out on the Fairmount Park river drives, posted for 40, can toss around at 65 with narrow cartways, a few s-curves, a level drive surface, few banked turns. Lotta fun. Have to push the BMW's outta the way, tho.

As for "twisties", I run the car out on West River and Kelly Drives, both flanking the Schuykill River. Flat, no banked curves, tight cartway, a few s-curves and a couple of tunnels through granite outcroppings. Posted at 40, can be done with fun at 65, so long as no one is watching. No back mountain road, but still fun.....

So, he will model a left turn to a 2 lane road (using 10 ft as the standard) and 38.1 as the turning radius.
Probably have it tomorrow, Im sure you all cant wait

Obviously, if you are at an intersection, then you have more maneuvering room (e.g. the island next to the left turn lane, and then there is no curb on the opposite side so I see why this would work in this case.
I backup about 2 feet and then take a small 360 (well, 270

No, I wouldn't make a buying decision based on this alone, but for some reason Honda/Acura cars have wider turning circles than similar models of other makes, and the logic escapes me. No biggie.

My name is not bg that you are talking about. My name is Sammy, so get it straight please.
and what annoying posts are you refering to? No one has made any comment about my posts thus far, and i dont think this post was annoying to anyone but yourself. Please watch who you call a toolbox.
and the post topic was about SPECS
Specs can mean HP, wheel size, tire size, lights, engine stats, basically anything that deals with the car.

That's so funny. I was just thinking today what a wide turning circle the TSX has. It's like you turn the wheel and are genuinely surprised at how soon it hits the stop.
