Turning Circle - how many metres do you need to turn round?

[Petrolhead_Rich]

My new car seems to have the turning circle of a barge, so I was wondering what the average turning circle is, go go google your car and turning circle and post back the width required to turn in metres:

Mine:
Volvo S60 2.0T
11M

Lets see who really has a barge and who can turn on a sixpence!

and no discounts for being able to flick the rear end round, I know it reduces the turning circle but it's not a fair comparison!!

Don't have it any more, but in Westfield SEi, stick 5,000 rpm on the clock, turn wheel, dump clutch. Turning circle = length of the car.

ditto TVR 500, but don't need the revs so much!

READ THE FOOTNOTE!!
I used to do this in my VX Omega and also a RWD hire car to get round this junction:

Why have Volvo done this, the old 200s used to turn like a black cab?

Three letters: FWD

The old ones were RWD

have you tried getting 180bhp to go round 45degrees and have a diff that allows that level of slip but still manages to pull away without eating one tyre???

They need to go back to RWD, as do many manufacturers!!
