>>28216611
eps is fine as long as you're not driving a soulless german rental goypod like a bmw or vag product

>>suspension not tuned for understeer
this is ACTUALLY why you can't feel anything in the steering.

I knew a girl that had a Golf MK1 Cabriolet for about a month, white with white it was, and binned it because her precious arms couldn't handle a car without power steering. Fucking women.

>15 years ago 3,000 lbs was pigfat, weight changes everything. Heavy cars "feel solid" to normies, but you're fighting the weight the entire time.
>Older cars had physical throttle cables, now throttle is put through a software filter to smooth out your inputs.
>Cars with traction / stability control that hit brakes if you drive over what the software prescribes, no dropping the clutch and letting the rear slide out in a plume of smoke (though you can disable all of this)
>Electronic steering (my least favorite thing)
>NVH and suspension made to dampen the road to make passengers feel luxurious or some shit
They've spent 20 years making cars feel numb as shit because people equate that with luxury.
