Yeah, it is you. My '95 Corolla that I sold turned on a dime... my Camry doesn't compare to the Corolla's handling... but I love my Cam, so it doesn't matter

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.
Just try wobbling the steering along the freeway and see how quickly you leave it via the nearest bush. Seriously though, anyway to improve the turning circle? Not built for tight spaces.
really from past experience of driving 330ci and VW i find it really good. i drove a corolla and if felt like a go-kart, not alot of power in turns. i usually turn really quick with my camry and keep accelerating and the thing stays on the road. well i do have a strut bar.. thats about the only modification to suspenstion and wider wheels.
I think some of it may be driving skill as well.. I'm sure my cam could handle way better with sway bars and better suspension.. but my skills compensate for it's weakness right now...

You say that like your VW handled like crap. What kind did you have. Mine handles better than my camry. The factory suspension setup is stiffer on a VW than Camry. I upgraded on both but the OEM isn't horrible just depends on how you drive.

Had a '91 Integra GS which felt like a go kart. Twitch the wheel and off you went in another direction. It was fun. Got a Camry now and is much slower (but smoother) handling now. Still better than my 1970 Toronado 455cid(7.2l/400hp/500lb torque) fwd. That was a 4500lbs land yacht that liked smoking front tires. Was very comfy though, even more so than the Camry.
Camrys are NOT known for their handling, i know people that ride with me (on my stock suspension) are usually love the ride quality. They say its very quiet, and it muffles the road noice and bumps really well. Its just a comfortable ride. If you ride a 7th gen celica, then you will know handling!
