steering
I initially had a lot of reservations in regards to the electric motor assisted steering, but I have to admit that it is quite good.
Except at a stop. It feels like the nice weighty feel goes all limp. I am sure that is to help with manuvering the car, but it feels just TOO light. It feels strange to not have any resistance.
With a hydraulic pump, moving the steering wheel while stopped puts a lot of strain on the rack...is that still the case with this new system?

Sorry to hear that. I don't feel what you explained at all. I have power plus. Steering is spot on, although I went on the first couple of test drives before buying I tried to convince myself the new steering was substandard. Interesting.
