Default Re: Electric steering

The HCH II's steering is electric, too, of course, and I can't believe how good it feels. Always the right level of boost, and you can never feel the thing working. The steering is just *there*, rock solid. It will definitely be interesting to see how it does long-term.

I was actually really concerned about electric power steering because reports on, for example, BMW's variable-ratio electric suggested way too much computer interference that would change boost levels/steering ratio at the wrong times. Absolutely no such problems with the Honda system.
