...does this car have an appalling turning circle?
I often had the feeling that it wouldn't turn quite as tightly as other cars I'd driven, but I thought it was just an unfounded impression. Yesterday, though, I saw a big, nine-seat people carrier easily do a three-point turn in a place where I couldn't. I had to do a five-point turn. I just couldn't do it in three.
Really? Is this car less maneuverable than even a five meter long van? 😕

Sounds like inadequate use of throttle to me.

to be fair the mustang isn't that much shorter than the 5 metre long van

Everyone’s run out of things to complain about so now we’re adding turning radius… It’s a V8 sports car. I absolutely love mine, it turns perfectly.

I wasn't complaining. It was just an observation. And I was hoping to find out whether others have observed it as well, and perhaps what the reason for this might be.
Whether you love yours is irrelevant; that's not what I was asking.

It does turns like a Queen Merry Ship that's for sure. But you can also light up the rear tires and make it do 180 on a very little space.

When you talk about how “appalling” something is, it comes off as a complaint.
Whether you cover it up with nonsense after the fact to sound like it wasn’t a complaint is irrelevant; that’s not what I was asking.

You weren't actually asking anything.
If my "complaints" bother you, then feel free to ignore this thread.

Yeah… that was the point…
If my reactions to your whining bothers you, then feel free to ignore me.
