^^ Uh, you mean diameter, right?
I hadn't even looked at this aspect, even the G5 Max had a worse turning circle than the Altima SE...and the SE guys are *****ing about that. Oddly enough my 2.5 turns almost as tightly as my Celica...never had a problem getting around a tight corner.

"Diameter = Radius * 2
Its the same qualitative measurement."
Its not the same qualitative measurement at all...radius is half diameter...thats different. When someone says the radius of a circle is 40 feet, that means its diameter is 80 feet. The previous poster stated that the 03 and 04 Maximas have turning radii of 40 feet, meaning if you cranked the wheel to the stops and stepped on the gas you would make a circle 80 feet across.
True everyone here knows what he meant, but the statement was incorrect...it would generally be best for everyone if we all used the correct terms.

Oh, man! Did I blow that one- and I'm a P.E. (Professional Engineer)too! You are, of course, totally correct. I meant to say "turnig diameter" (i.e. "curb to curb").Geeze- I'm getting to the point where I forget what C.R.S. stands for anymore!

proof: take the integral from 0 to r(radius) and from 0 to 2*Pi
in Cylindrical Coordinates you will get the formula for the
area.
Note: ds=p*d0*dp

Well, it seems like it takes 80 feet to turn a Maxima around! Our Grand Voyager is easier to turn and park than my Maxima, for crying out loud!!!!
Nissan- What's up with that?
