Just as a thought exercise – if you had to pick a new – modern sports car that had proper hydraulic, rather than electric, power steering what would it be?
Just walked past about a 7 year old Audi R8, hence the question. I’m sure the last generation Cayman would have be on the short list... |

I just read this, and had a chuckle.
A few years back I took my 2010 Acura TL, to the service station across the street from my office, needed to change the oil. When I went to pick it up, they had noted that the had 25k miles on it, and should have the power steering system flushed, I look at the guy with a puzzled look in my and stated "But, it has electric steering", he replied, it still needs to be flushed. Needless to say, I never went back. I wonder how many people he duped with that one. I like my EPAS on my new TLX, at low speeds in a parking lot, it is very easy to maneuver, but as you get to highway speeds, it get tighter and tighter, the things is that you don't really even notice. Sorta like the speed adaptive sound system. I entertained the idea of putting it into my teener, but have not decided to do it. It seems like it would be fairly simple to do, since the steering column, takes a zig to the right, before it goes into the fire wall. If one were to pick up a spare column, the it would be completely reversible, if you decided to sell it. |
