Turning Radius Specs
I don't intend to start debate on how poor the turning radius of RX is.... I am only looking for the spec.
Thanks
Salim

The number did not look right so I did a quick check. Since my test was an approximate, I am willing to beleive that 41.3 feet must be the Diameter of the tread marks of the outer most wheel.

WHAT'S UP?
I couldn't find the spec in my manual but in the July 2001 Consumer Reports issue where they did a comparison of the Acura, Audi, Volvo and the RX they list the turning radius at 44 feet.
But what's up? Do you think it's smaller or larger? Either way I haven't had any real issues except on very narrow neighborhood streets. In my 'hood it seems okay, though.

In the process of designing a drive-way, I needed info about the turning radius. I was unable to find the spec and reached out for the collective wisdom of CL. When I drew to scale, I needed my neighbours permission to tun the RX around.
It is upto RX300TC to correct the publisher of the spec only after independant confirmation.
Peace!
Salim
maybe the spec "turning radius" = "minimum distance to turn around".

Since there is no snow, or desert here in Austin to drive out a doughnut, I need cones or assistance. (Weekend project). My estimate for the diameter is about 42 feet. For drive-way I am using 55 feet as the diameter.

"41.3 feet must be the Diameter of the tread marks of the outer most wheel. "
Salimshah, those are VERY wide tires, by my calc a 12,588 (41.4x12x25.4) series tire. Don't you have some problems with clearance of the rear strut? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
It just snowed 6" here last night, so if I have a chance I'll go do doughnuts and measure. One thing's for sure, the GS stays in the garage.
