Hi Damo , mine has the turning circle of a B double if that helps and when in low range more like one of those big road trains .

When I drove a GU coil wagon I was quite shocked at how much better the turning circle on it was compared to my leafy GU ute.

You haven't got GU diffs in them by chance?

I think turning circle and fuel economy don't exactly have much meaning to most 4X4 owners .

No kidding! :)

I on the other hand, do enjoy the fuel economy when I can get it for less. ;)
That 'cos I enjoy long treks where no one has gone before!!! :D ;)

I will agree with that, I went from a HX Kingswood to a TP Magna and could not believe how much larger the turning circle was.

For some people, it's full lock and pedal to the metal - but not me.

I have respect for my 'Award winning weapon' - besides, I can't afford to have it impounded and be off the road for 6 months! PML

Cheers for the replies. Seems I'm not alone then. In the dunes it seems OK. Just plant my foot to bring it around.

Just a pain to park. Seems I'm always taking a couple of bites to get into a spot. I doubt I've got GU diffs as it was stock as when I got it a few weeks ago.

i thought the gq turning circle was bad until i got my 79dc

My mate had a PT Cruiser, I’ll bet that would have to have the worst turning circle of any car ever produced.
A straight Uturn in my GU would be a five point turn for him.

Similar the navara work vehicle i had turned like the Titanic. Get in the GU felt like turning a mini in comparison :D

I had my 2012 Navara and it was horrendous! I had a Steve Armstrong steering (no power steering) on a old Triton with a small mounted wood steering wheel with muddies that wasn’t as bad!

So does anyone know how many meters the turning circle of a GQ is. Apart from huge.

[Majkoperth]

It is quite poor but my previous civic was any better.

[Clunk]

So does anyone know how many meters the turning circle of a GQ is. Apart from huge.It's around the 13m mark, possibly a bit more...... I read somewhere that the GU is 12.6m

Cheers mate that gives me an idea, I will measure it when I pick mine up.

[mad66]

I didn't measure this but found out on a car comparison site that the turning circle is 13.4 meters. Yes rather large.
