Top 14 Sedans With the Smallest Turning Circles for 2014

If you're a car shopper who prioritizes maneuverability, you'll want to pay close attention to the turning circles of the models you're considering. A car's turning circle is the full diameter of the smallest circle it's capable of making when completing a turn. A small turning circle can make it easier to shoehorn a car into a tight parking space.

The 14 models listed below (our list is longer than the usual 10 due to ties) are the sedans with the smallest turning circles for 2014. Included are choices for different types of small-sedan shoppers. The Kia Rio and Kia Forte are well-suited for the shopper seeking style and value. Those who appreciate engaging handling will want to check out the Ford Fiesta and Mazda 3. And the most price-sensitive shoppers should take a look at the Versa, Nissan's thrifty sedan, since it's the least expensive new car on the market.
