So you prefer to turn the wheel further (and go hand-over-hand) when you take a tight turn? I didn't think that could be the case, which is why I thought you were talking abut force. If fast steering didn't add to the ability to go fast then race cars wouldn't have it, so don't put down people who enjoy driving a (IMO) much more responsive car. That, for me (and for many others), adds to the fun of driving (and it's not about somehow saving my arms).
I didn't say it was JUST like a race car, but the responsiveness gives (again IMO) a feeling much more like a race car than the standard steering does. If you feel that is absurd then I hope you'll be a little more specific as to your reasons for feeling so.
If you've driven the 2nd generation BMW Active Steering for long enough to really get the feel of it and still prefer the standard steering then, by all means, save your money. There's plenty of room for different opinions. But please don't imply that people who do like it only could like it because they are somehow wimps.
When I have pressed people with comments like yours in the past it often turns out that they have never driven it and, in fact, seem to think that it just lessens the steering force. I apologize if I incorrectly lumped you in with that group but comments that talk about being able to use your arms just ask for it.
