Euro sports cars are automatic because theyre made for performance

>Op has no car

sound about right?

Nope, european sports cars are manual because they're performance vehicles, and everyone and their dog knows how to operate a clutch.

American 'sports' cars are automatic because Americans don't know how to operate a clutch.

sports cars are auto because they do a better job of shifting..

and yet.. being able to modulate power through a clutch and gas peddle probably gives better control sometimes.

Our ACTUAL sports cars are still manual, it's just that dumb Amerishits think that upscale grand tourers are sports cars.

Except Americans are the reason BMW still sells ///M cars with a manual transmission, why you can get a 6 speed in the F10 M5, and why Porsche came out with the 7 speed manual instead of dropping it for the PDK.

Thank you Americans

Electric power assisted steering is better than hydraulic. Hydraulic steering is absolutely horrid, and the only advantage it has is in how easy it is to remove and throw in the trash.

Fly by wire is cancer, though.

its even worse than just steering feel.

say you take a hard turn..

the steerings willingness to return to neutral positioning.. its.. slowness..

is extremely dangerous sometimes. and iv experienced it in multiple cars so it must be a.. thing.

and yes, physical feel.. or if i could more accurately describe it as feedback..

is severely lacking.

damn i can feel road imperfections though older steering..

and i like it that way "/

i cant describe how bad new cars are..its awful.

but who wouldn't settle if they had the money?
