    RS3 Turning Circle

    MB, Thanks. It was seeing the significant increase for the RS3 editions couples with the RS3 and my polestar having similar values that made me ask the question. Prior to this, I was in bliss reading the RS3s would soon be appearing stateside. I knew the previous version had a very tight...

    RS3 Turning Circle

    3 vans, Thanks. Forum comments regarding the polestar did have some users complaining about parking as I am now. I don't think there were zillions of such complaints, and at the time of purchase I most likely ignored them. I liked how the car drove and that was that. Dumb me. I suspect from...

    RS3 Turning Circle

    Keano... Exactly. Cars have all grown. In many cases, by a LOT. Honda Accords are now very long cars. In 1984 they were very short. We recently sold a house that I had built in 1992. It had a single 16 foot wide door and some space on either side. When the house was built, the garage seemed...

    RS3 Turning Circle

    Thanks Daggerit, It really does not sound as if many are complaining about having issues with parking and so forth. I know other polestar owners had similar issues as I am having. For some, it simply may not bother them (my car). But, if it were a widespread issue, it seems certain complaints...

    RS3 Turning Circle

    Carbon, Thanks for your reply and details. My current car is the only car I have owned that has been difficult to park due to it's turning characteristics. Everything about it goes wide. I briefly had a loaner 2021 V60 as a comparison, and had no issues with parking it, getting it from my...

    RS3 Turning Circle

    Spinstorm, Thanks for sharing your perspectives on the simple question I asked about. Your reply is very much appreciated given how much it helps. I'll rephrase to perhaps better help my question.... my current car is a BITCH to park. I have had the car 5 years and while I enjoy driving it, I...

    RS3 Turning Circle

    Oh no! I assume it struggles? My car just never feels like the rear end is actually following the front end when I am trying to pull forward into a parking space. It feels like the *** end is at an angle. In addition, the front just does not really maneuver. I can turn the wheel all the way til...

    RS3 Turning Circle

    Thx Jassy. My current car, 2016 6 cyl Volvo S60 polestar, is the only car I have owned that has given me parking issues. Always the chance it is just me, but since I am the one driving it, I do not want a repeat of this. I don't take my cars out on tracks, etc. but do love acceleration and...

    RS3 Turning Circle

    Thanks to all. Very good reference for me and something to think about. Our parking spots here, to me, are getting tighter overall (smaller), and in many cases the width of the rows between parkiing spots is shrinking. My current car is the first I have owned where parking has been an issue for...

    RS3 Turning Circle

    Thx Stu..... obviously my Polestar has stained me a bit :) Sounds like the RS3 is more able bodied in terms of parking. I would guess for the most part our parking spots in the US are more open, though in fairness they seem to be shrinking while our cars are increasing!

    RS3 Turning Circle

    This may seem an oddball question, but I just read on the Audi USA website the 2022 RS3 has a 40.5 or so foot turning circle (12.34m). This caught my eye of concern. I currently drive a 2016 Volvo S60 Polestar, and while overall the car is a nice car to drive, parking it has always been a bit of...
