From the description, I think the sprinter dimension is saying it could run circles inside a 50' square or circle, (OD) while the hondog gives turning radius, which is half the inside front tyre to inside front tyre circle.   (Tyre ID)   so we really don't know which turns tighter. My H beats

6.05Mx2 = 39'9". Was that the longest model Honda? Which is still surprisingly good if curb-to-curb (a smaller number than wall to wall). My Chevy Citation was 39' something curb-to-curb. Mitch. > On December 6, 2019 at 4:41 PM Randy Bennell via Mercedes > wrote: > > > Google search

Google search suggests the Sprinter needs 47'6" and the Odyssey needs 33' 2". I might be comparing apples to oranges as the descriptions are different. For the Sprinter the data says 47'6" wall to wall turn and for the Odyssey it says 6.05 M turning radius so I assumed the turning circle was

I'd bet a nickle that the sprinter can turn as tight or tighter than the hondog van. Kevin Kraly via Mercedes December 6, 2019 at 11:46 AM This Sprinter has every possible safety assistance technology including blind spot monitoring with audible and visual

Randy, With a larger vehicle its often easier to back into a parking space than it is to back out. I've found in some cases with our Dodge 1500 that sometimes I've easily pulled into a space that is now a bugger to back out of.This is a case where you backup camera will be really helpful

I guess Kevin does not have to worry about it, but my first thought was about the difficulty in parking a vehicle with a 12 foot wheelbase. I sometimes struggle to find parking with my F150. Parking lots are tighter than they used to be and the parking spaces are smaller as are the lanes

There is a BIG, brand new Mercedes Sprinter in the driveway! It is the 144”WB 12 passenger model with nearly every option but 4Matic, graphite gray with black interior and MB-Tex seats. It had 6 whole miles on it before the 30 mile trip home. The just over $50K loaded Honda Odyssey is so much
