the worst turning radius award should go to the volvo s80 t6.
my gs300 has awesome turn radius also.

anything with shorter wheel base and longtitude-mounted engines should have better turning radius than transverse-mounted engines and long wheel base. most infinitis however have a bad turn radius for its class.

WRX turning radius sucked as well...prob cause of the boxer engine. I was shocked when I first did a U-turn with the IS350.

Without a doubt, both the RSX and the TL. I was pleasantly surprised at the turn radius of the IS.
