I've driven an active steering car and I did not like it. I thought it felt less connected and was a negative when I was driving hard and braking hard (steering ratio constantly changing and i could feel it).
It's a plus for parking the car and driving high speeds on the freeway (feels a little more solid at high speed, but it is also less responsive ![]() thats my .02 on that, but hey, maybe u get used to it ![]() Congrats ![]() |

Really? I just really don't like the adjusting it does when I'm braking hard and trailing into a turn. Like I said though, maybe u get used to it.

Ummm yeah, whether or not he's driven with active steering does matter. I personally didn't like driving with it. Just want to make sure he's not buying something without trying it first.

I have found that it doesnt adjust until you are driving a straight line. I have driven the first ones as well and it was scary to have it change ratios in the middle of a turn. They must have updated it somewhere.

I especially like it when driving at higher speeds which tightens up the steering but need only very little steer to go around curves or switch lanes, needless to say, very little effort also. ![]() |
