Dead steering: no feedback
Posted: Sun Apr 24, 2016 7:42 pm
I am currently driving a courtesy car: a vauxhall Corsa. I was looking forward to having a zippy little car but my hopes were too high. There is absolutely no feedback from the steering, which makes the car feel lifeless.
I understand that the electric steering setup is cheaper for manufacturers, but I think completely removing steering feedback is a step too far. We are humans after all. And sensory deprivation is a form of torture for a reason.
If even loaded muscle cars these days can be put on sale with dead steering (think mustang GT350R), then I guess my plea is probably hopeless. Still, I cannot understand why at least one of the car manufacturer does not turn that to their advantage.
