I think some of problem is how it is perceived. You are in a short wheel base car, so you expect it to have a tight turning radius. Once you get used to it, it's a non issue, especially considering all the vehicles that have similar numbers.
What's crazy is the fact that my ST (a small car) has a similar turning radius as my crown victoria (a big ass long car) And my crown vic has the police package so it has a tighter turning circle than normal.....smh
