I don't think the topic is "how to perform a u turn", but rather "is the turning radius of an Evo X small enough to make u turns possible on roads that aren't wide".

Apparently looks its about how to make it. Lol
The turning radious is why a big deal if you can make a u turn easy? Like a Y turn...

I had to make a couple of U-turns on the highway and in the city and haven't had any problems. The turn-in radius was a little wider than I thought with the steering wheel locked.....I faintly remember me doing any u-turns in my VIII but don't recall having any issues either. I usually pull out a little to the left to make a right hand u-turn and vice-versa for the left...

The turning diameter (note: double the radius) on the Evo according to some car review websites is 38.7 feet.

For comparison, a Chevy Tahoe's turning diameter is ~ 39 feet as well.

no need to sorry , i got it. i just dont understand what people think when raise the question like how is the u turn in the evo? Like any other cars, even if 2-3 feet is a difference ... i mean seriously...
Some roads are require Y turn some is just a simple turn around. Some roads may require multiple Y turns before you make a full turn. It is probably the least problem is a car. More likely the road or the conditions , even a driver is usually more of the problem then a car.

Usually AWD cars have a "bad" turning radius vs RWD cars or FWD cars.
Evo is definitely has a not so great turning radius , but a same time you can easily see back vs some other cars. So there will be always something to complain about. LOL

Yep, so many cars are the same way (despite being AWD or FWD). Our cars may have a larger turning diameter than say...a Civic, but the M3 for instance has a 38.4 turning diameter.

Just get in and drive.
