Nothing wrong with a Miata tho. But 200SX > 240SX imo :)
200SX being the SR20DET'd version of the KA24DE 240SX :P

Still loving mine everyday :)

I hate driving Toyotas. I had to drive my grandmother's Avalon and there's like no steering feel at all. Not to mention she continuously brags about it having a V6 but the simple fact of the matter is even with the little power my RB30 has the R31 is quicker.

Interesting. I quite like Avalons, even to the point where I would buy one if I needed a big sedan. It's a poor man's Lexus; very smooth to drive, comfortable and cheap to maintain. And the V6 still has legs, imo.

Try driving an old Honda if you want know what "no steering feel" is really about :lol:

Whatever you say buddy. From my point of view, cheap cars like Civics/Camrys/etc tend to have very simple and bland interiors, especially compared to something like a BMW which has buttons and things everywhere.

I agree on all of those points, but I still wouldn't buy one. And I realise that Hondas would be worse in steering feedback but quite frankly I hate the Avalon's steering. Same with the Corolla Ascent I have to drive to get my P's :?

Damn, arabnight. Your posts have gotten to the point where I can't even understand what you are trying to say anymore. I lost you after "experence".

I think he means "they were so loose, with no [steering] feedback".

As far as Avalons having "no steering", what do you expect? Big, heavy sedan + small, but heavy, front-mounted V6 + FWD = you're going to have a little bit of trouble steering.

No it's handling is ok (although my grandmother has dinged it on over 5 separate occasions, but that was usually due to here very aggressive driving style in the parking lot XD), it's just that you get no feedback in the steering. it's almost as if you're simply holding your hands up in the air rather than on a steering wheel.

Well that is the ideal in a car that's designed for comfort (which is most cars). The weight of the steering has a higher prority. If you want feedback then buy an AW11.

That's the whole point, if the steering has little feedback and weight then that adds to the "comfort" -_- It does have a bit of weight though. In some cars you can spin the wheel by breathing on it, the Avalon won't do that.

You really don't get it do you, that's the whole point. they can make it feel like what ever they want.

Most people don't give a rats *ss about steering feel and if you feel connected to the car or the road.
They want comfort and ease of steering.

A lot of city cars even have a city mode for steering which makes it even lighter and with less feedback but like Bogan said you could turn the wheel by breathing at it, and people in cities with small streets and small parking places want that, they don't care if they don't feel the wheels, they only care about that they can corner and park with minimal effort.

If you want feedback get a car without powersteering!
