Turning Circle

    I presently compete in car trials using an elderly AX and am considering updating to a Saxo. A small turning circle is highly desirable as you negotiate the sections. I have found conflicting figures for the turning circle for a Saxo 1.1. Could somebody confirm whether it is 9.5 metres or 10.5 metres please as I have found both figures quoted on various sites?

    Am I right in thinking that both 1.4 and 1.6 engined cars have 10.5 metre turning circle?

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    it appears it depends on which 1.1 it is....I clicked a few and found 10m and 9m turning circle

    Thanks for the reply. That is what I found too! I don't know whether it varies depending on which particular model it is or whether it was changed on a particular date.

    A 10.5m turn would make it less competitive when there are cars with an 8.8m turning circle in the same class. Hopefully someone on the forum will know.
