Making U-Turns on the Evo X

Its almost impossible to do a U-Turn without reversing... I noticed when turning the steering wheel all the way it stops a bit early. I came from a Lexus in which gave me an extra notch when turning the steering wheel to make sharper turns. Anyone else noticed this?

Evos, and AWD cars in general, have poor turning radii. Coming from a car with an absurdly tight turning radius, I was missing parking spots for weeks when I got my X.

When I first got the X I wasn't really sure of my distance and how bad/good it turns, so my first U-turn was a disaster.

My wheel hugged the curb.

Like Jeremy Clarkson said about the Evo VIII FQ-400, "...then there's the turning circle...which is worst than Jupiter's."
