How annoying!!!!

[Antz182]

Does anyone else find the turning circle of the 182's a right pain in the arse? It's like trying to turn a bus around.

 

[geordieclio]

i drive buses and is nowt like it but try turning a v6 around

 

[ukaskew]

Haven't really noticed any difference between the Cup and my previous Dynamique to be honest, doesn't seem to bad.

You should see a V6 try to turn around in a tightish space, now thats bus like!

 

[Antz182]

I drive a Grand Scenic and the 182, they seems to be quite a difference between them. I can't say i've seen a V6 turning, i have hardly seen one on the road at all.

 

[yellow182jon]

yep pain in the arse

 

[gazcaddy]

yes i agree the turning circle is a right pain

as for the V6,Clarkson once said 'oil tanker captains have been known to say that their ships have the turning circles of clio V6's!

didn't he prove this with a range rover running circles round him... ?

 

[RobertCL]

Yup, compared to my old 1.2 Clio that would turn around on a sixpence the 172 is terrible. When I first got it I thought I'd forgotten how to park!

yeah it showed you a range rover a V6 255 turning will full lock on and the v6 didnt couldnt turn round on the runway without going on the grass, the range rover did it quite easy

 

[Leeshez]

Yes there pants lol

 

[Ad]

Is hard work and I always felt it made me look like a s**t drivers. lol

 

[Leeshez]

Its that bad somtimes i strugle parking outside my houe Where normaly in the corsa i jus swung it in. lol

 

[David_Snaresbrook]

I find using the handbrake to swing the back end round helps with turning the car around, and parking.

Turning circle definitely wasn't that tight for such a small car.

Used to fin my mums Focus could turn tighter than my 172!!

 

[KnightAzul]

Crud turning circle is a small price to pay for such a brill car!
Would be interested to know why though ...

Escort RS Turbo with 18's! Now thats funny!

 

[Andy]

Yup, turning circle not included. It really gets on my t*ts, espeicially in suburban Glasgow. Definately not a town car.

Lets face it though chaps, we weren'ty thinking turning circles when we bought them. :approve:

I dream of a turning circle like my 172 did ... tho' not to the point I'd ever change my car from the Vee tho' . Never had a problem in the 172, but the Vee is humorously bad. Forget driving forward into a parking space, and even reversing normally requires a couple of bites since the width of the typical car park road is too narrow. Forget multistorey carparks too ... even if you can handle the clearances needed for the ramps you're unlikely to be able to deal with the tight turns. Basically think about turning your 172/182 on full lock, but then that lock stopping 40% short.

When Clarkson said "it sounds like a supercar, it's as mid-engined as a supercar ..." (or something like that) ... he forgot to add it's got the turning circle of a supercar . This is why I was crying with tears of laughter at the TopGear episode where they got the supercars stuck in the hotel car park ... because I've been there too .

The turning circle on our 7-seater Citroen C8 is f**king wonderful tho' ... it feels like it's turning its front wheels at 90% and swivelling on the back wheels .

 

[HBB]

Its fine compared to my mates lotus elise!!!

 

[Turkish]

Lock is toss but who cares and its still better than my mates old 206 gti running 17s and stupid low suspension every parking space was a 57 shunt back and forth manouver.

 

[Dan@SJM]

My mums 4x4 can turn around in the drive and i have to make a 3-point turn of it!
