18 ft. Pontoon?

Seriously, I'm making 3 point turns in areas that are generously wide....

No, I was actually surprised at how well it turns.

Because mine felt like that when I first got it. I was in a Chrysler 300 rental while waiting for mine to be built. That car looks and is built like a tank but I was slinging it around the corners and up the ramp in the parking garage of my building. But the first month or so after I got in my Audi, I was stopping and backing up on those same corners every time. But it's way better now. So yeah if yours isn't new, might want to have it checked out. It should be a bit more agile than what you're experiencing.

Yeah, it turns really well for me. I actually make a u turn everyday and it is better than my old merc and definitely better than my truck. Maybe you're just getting used to the size? From the inside it feels bigger than it actually is...

Ok I do have to take it in then. My old 2011 Dodge Charger turned better than my A6...

I just installed lowering springs yesterday. Do you think this might void any warranty work?

And no, it didn't do u-turns worst after the install. It's the exact same. My car had this "symptom" when I was on stock suspension with 18" wheels.

The AoA specs show a curb to curb turning radius of 39 ft. Does your car do this? If so, I guess it is normal.
