2003 Maxima Poor Turing Radius
Has anyone noticed that the turing radius on this car really blows! Suprisingly the 2003 G35 doesnt have the same problem nor does the 2004 maxima. I was wondering if this is a problem that pretains to all 5th Gen Maximas or just mine.

With as wide as a footprint (believe 225's) as 6th gens have, its hard to believe they wouldn't suffer the same problem.
You're right though, 5th gens have this inherent problem. Kinda embaressing making a 3pt turn when a u-turn should really suffice...
All in all, I will keep the Maxima just the same.

I agree, the turning radius on my mom's 2k3 GLE is terrible. When I pull out from the parking garage, half the time, I need to reverse a tiny bit to avoid one bad a$$ cement pillar.
I never need to do this on my Mazda 626 or Buick Roadmaster wagon.
Oh well... Kinda dissapointed, however, the nice ride and power more than compensates this issue. Finally let the tires loose a few days ago and tires hopped up to 30km/h (it wasn't even WOT). :-)
