Is turns awesome. I'd vote for a semi as the worst though

 

I like it. I can ask for more, but I like it.

I'm actually amazed on how the LS460L can turn just as well for a bigger, longer sedan. You should test drive it...

 

Oh man!!! I think its incredible! Ive got a better turning radius than my gfs 06 civic, and I thought that being such a small car had a great one. These ISs are awesome! i swear the damn wheels hit a 90 degree angle when you turn the wheel all the way to one direction!

 

Got a little bored at work and ran specs from manufacturers sites

Turning Circle (ft)

IS 350 33.5 (250 awd is the same)
LS 460L 35.4
Volvo S80 40.0
G35 35.4
WRX 37.4
TL 39.7
Civic 34.8

 

did a few u turn today on the road (empty of course) just for fun. one word.. BADASSS

 

Turning circle

• IS - 33.5ft
• Acura CL type S - 39.4ft

I used to need almost 1 extra lane in the CL to U turn!

 

Awesome! Thanks for looking that up!

 

ever make a u-turn in an s60 R? that thing has a radius of about 42 ft, larger than the larger s80 sedan based on the nums posted earlier. it turns like a tugboat in a parking lot. 5 cyl + brembo's = huge radius. it's also just a little bit bigger than the 2nd gen IS.

 

Yeah it's pretty amazing when I U-turn and end up in the left lane. I'm like the only one near my neighborhood who can U-turn on some of these residential streets and not have to pull into a driveway or do a 3pt turn.

 

Hell yes!!! I talk about this all the time! LOL

 

im going to do mini figure 8's today.....

 

G35 is by far the worst for making u turns. I owned that hunk of metal and they cant even get the steering right .... 3 point turn here , 3 point turn there . Lexus,, 3 point turn is not in our vocab

 

Mines a toss up between my IS and my audi S4....audis have amazing turning radiuses...

 

IS

 

i noticed this too when i took the test drive and looked online for the specs and it does have a short turning radius, shorter than most, if not all comparable vehicles. i asked my salesperson if the wheels turn 90 degrees because the u-turn was super tight!
