Yeah, do the same as we used to do in the old Mini's.
Shove it in reverse and go as hard as you can and it will pivot on the back wheel.

Sorry, going forward you just have to be good at doing 3 point turns in a tight spot. Doesn't matter what year model it is.

I have finally gotten used to the 3 point turns though hubby still curses .. BUT I don't like his HAVA's fuel consumption & the fact it takes UP so much room in the first place .. so we are even ....

Yes, mauals are great on the Nullabor - but then questioning the turning circle becomes a bit academic, doesn't it.

Auto's are great in towns and cities, unless - of course - you are into cultivating a macho image - in which case there is no help for you.

You just have to remember if you want to do a U Turn you actually need 4 lanes - or a 3 point turn - or a 2 wheel drift - but you'll only do that once.

Just find a 4-lane road, and the U-turn is easy!

...other than that - pretend you're driving a bus!?

Check out Youtube to see what a couple of Mcdonalds food trays under the back wheels can do for maneuverability. Does make it a bit of a handful though
