U turn to 2-lane road

[sgpg555]

Hi Brothers

I am newbie of Latio for three months. I have found out that I am very hard to U turn into 2-lane road. I hit the road kerb once and also required to reverse. However, it was not so difficult when I did so with Vios in the driving centre. Please advise me. Thank you.

Well, bro.. Usually, i eat out to the other lane. Not eating out as in causing hindrance to other vehicles, but eat out as in to create more space for the turn, a little will be sufficient. It will be much easier to make the turn and won't hit kerb that easier. Other than that, it would be to turn your steering at the right time and at a faster speed :):)

Yes, I have this problem also.

I did a U-turn at Bishan before.  There is U-turn sign so I thought should be no problem.  Quite surprised when I actually did the U-turn.  How come cannot complete...  Have to reverse...

So now like gracieg said, keeping to the left side of the right lane and turning steering wheel faster should help.

No problem so far. I think gracieg just means to keep to left side of turning lane. Turn steering faster and move slower.
Only problem I had initially with the wider turn radius was during kerb side parking.

You guys using stock rim and tire?

What to do... Our Latio's turn radius is 5.2m, Vios's is 4.9m... My dad's Sylphy even worse 5.5m... Solution is to turn slower and 'eat' out a bit more before doing U-turn lor

Just get use of the car n things will fall into place...     Practise wat the driving centre teaches... stay closer to the left lane marker... our Latio shldnt have much problem clearing U-turns.

our latio has bigger leg room than vios coz wheelbase longer, so turning radius should be longer too. just need a few times to get used too. use to drive a jazz, turn radius was 4.7, so easy to u-turn but of coz some other things are compromised...

At first I had the same prob as well, scratched lower part of the body kit when I U-turn into a two lane road...agree totally with you guys that the most effective way is to stay as much as possible to the left lane marker & turn quickly when doin the U-turn... 

Well guess this is one drawback of our ride in exchange for more space & comfort!

Latio in fact has 1 of the best turning radius.

All you need to do is to start turning the steering wheel fast once you start and it should cut down the radius a little, 5.2 is the min, think most people who takes their own sweet time on the steering will most probably take 5.5.
