In the short time I've had this car I've had to make a few U-turns and I was surprised on how tight it could turn around. I looked on the internet and the Lancer's turning circle is 32.8 feet. Thats as good as a 2007 Lotus Elise.

Besides the Mazda Miata, Z4, and maybe the Toyota Yaris it turns tighter than most sports cars and ultra compact cars. :trophy:

Hell yeah on the turning radius. I live in an apartment complex and have to either parallel park next to my door or park regular and walk 100ft. I had a 2001 frontier and I had to do the regular back up, turn pull forward. Now I just pull in like it's nothing.
