is it just me or is the turning circle of the wrx 93 poor

i dont really notice until i am in a car park

i have a aftermarket steering wheel maybe this is why

 

The steering wheel will not affect the turning circle

 

I have a 2001 WRX and the turning circle is shocking!

I always thought it was due to 4WD.

Just have to live with it and take it into consideration in tight spots

 

qwality!!!

nah, they are quite poor.

you have always got the handbrake though

 

It's not brilliant. But it can turn as tight as many cars...such as Rover 25, Pug 307 HDi, Clio 172 to name a few small cars that poor turning circles.

BMW 3 series on the otherhand is excellent around ultra tight Spanish underground/multi-story car parks (thanfully).

 

yeah the hand brake i could use but i'd rather not lol

 

i bet it aint as bad as a 306 rallye lol


now thats a crap turning circle




you could get clever and use the handbrake lol

 

I always thought that it was intentional to prevent tyre scrubbing. My Quattro used to skip on tarmac on full lock, the Impreza is much better.

 

It's a fundamental limitation of cars which deliver power via the front wheels (and by definition all 4 wheels). There is a limit to what angles CV joints can transmit power through. RWD have no such problems, hence tighter turning circles (e.g. London taxis).
