To further complicate things on the steering comments, refer to jijioben's post here and specifically the chart and his comments. I'm not sure where a UK spec car with the dynamic package and servotronic fits into this chart but it could mean I have tighter steering at speed than you get with no servo + dyn.

All I can say is that personally I have no problems at all with the steering feel and I'm pleased I didn't go for VDC or VSS.
