With IAS, I estimate I can do a U-turn at a stop light within 1.5 lanes on the other side of the street. Does it easily within 2 lanes. Maybe one lane with a wide shoulder.

IMO, the IAS only makes the turning of the STEERINGWHEEL faster,more comfy, less heavy, less sweat, but not the turning of the CAR/wheels itself. That stays the same imo.

Any input?

4 wheel steering is not a particularly new tech. It does reduce the turning radius of the car.

Fair enough, I forgot that, sorry.

But is the difference in a U turn really that big between a 4ws F10 and a non 4ws F10?

Are there any vids/pics to show the difference in a U turn?(not parking)
