Not too great either. My MR2 has a turning circle of 31.5ft. I doubt the RX-8 will be able to make a u-turn on a residential street like my Toyota can. Hmph.

Any curb-curb turning radius less than 35ft is good. Most cars have radius larger than this. While it won't tango on residential street like the MR2, I think it's more than adequate for most driving situation.

don't forget though, Bryan, that your MR2 has a wheelbase of like 8*", and the RX-8 has a 105 or 106" wheel base, right??? i'd say that's not too bad...

I suppose. Guess I'm just spoiled by my Toyotas. I don't have a number for my Corolla GT-S, but it feels like it turns even tighter than the MR2.
I do a lot more u-turns on residential streets than most people I guess.
