Lousy Turning Angle

[Bevan]

Does any other honda drivers feel this? My honda civic year 2002, its very hard to make u-turns. I drove many car before this but non has any problems making U-turns. How come this car cannot make a full U-Turn, Especially drving in KL i have to turn half way then reverse then complete the U turn. People will horn me kao kao la. Is this a standard problem or problem with my car. Any suggestions on how i can improve the turning?
