FL2 turning circle

One thing I've really really enjoyed about my FL2 is that it seems to have the turning circle of a London Taxi. I'm sure it can't be unique to mine, but I've never seen anyone else mention it Question

With such a tight turning circle, the footprint of a Focus, the ability to deal with badly maintained road surfaces, kerbs and even the most dangerous of speed humps, it would probably make a damn fine city car Thumbs Up

Funny - I've always thought the turning circle not that good!

I don't have the figures to hand, but I suspect the FL is quite a bit wider than a Focus, limiting its ability to nip through some of those tight gaps. The FL is quite a wide car.

I've got one of each! The Focus is surprisingly HUGE, while the FL2 is surprisingly small. Overall, there's very little in it.

The FL2 certainly has a usefully tighter turning circle than my old R53 MINI Cooper S.

Compared to my Navara, Ranger, Clio 172, Defender and the Fl1 it is brilliant.
