Extending an asphalt driveway

When spring shows up, I want to extend the turnaround at the top of my
driveway by as much as 20 feet. The existing driveway is in pretty
good shape. I figure it's good for at least 5 more years.

Normally I like to pull into the turnaround and back up to the garage,
but the turnaround is way too short to do that. In the summer I just
drive on the grass. In the late fall, winter, and early spring, I have
to make a 3-point turn because I don't want to tear up the lawn.

How to extend:
1. Asphalt
2. Concrete pad
3. Pavers

I'm thinking pavers right now because I think I can do it pretty
cheap, and I won't have to deal with tearing up a near-new asphalt
patch in 5 years, or busting up a reinforced concrete pad in 5 years.
Thoughts?
