QUOTE(SKYjack @ Aug 6 2015, 10:44 PM) Sports tune suspension and steering feedback on the Pug is at another level, you feel like driving a sports car. Even the F30 steering feedback is not as good as the Pugs! as a pug owner myself, I must say your statement is not true. peugeot steering is typical of electric power steering , it is totally numb with absolutely no feedback from the road when cornering aggresively. worse still is its bump steer, when u go across a bump in the middle of the corner the steering will kick back in your hands. not just me, but in general all road testers and journalists agree that the older hydraulic steerings will always give better feedback and road feel compare to the modern generation of electric systems.

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Aug 9 2015, 09:44 PM) To be correct, it's hydro-electric. You are right, get what feels right for you. the bmw(s) that you drove, did they have variable ratio steering , or variable assist steering ? I hope u know what these terms mean.

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Aug 11 2015, 08:25 AM) Actually, ive always wondered about this. Why do car manufacturers keep advertising higher power and torque figures when actual Dyno test results are almost always lower? because u don't understand the difference between on-engine and on-wheel reading. QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Aug 11 2015, 08:30 AM) Well, ive been driving my friend's VW Golf TSI MK7 for the past week and I must say that I find the handling of the BMW 320i to be better. I should hope so, considering the difference in price.
