Turning circle

Turning circle is the measure of how easy the car will be to park or to perform a U-turn. Usually measured kerb to kerb using the front outside tyre. Sometimes only the radius is given so for the diameter, or complete circle, multiply the radius by two. Front wheel drive cars are usually the ones worse off when it comes to a turning circle (the smaller the better) as the front wheels are unable to turn as much as the front wheels on rear wheel drive cars.
