i agreed for heavy steering... but in facts it good for high speed cruising but not for city driving...
the reasons for heavy steering are safety reasons while speeding... otherwise i think Kia Cerato should be the best option as the steering respond can be light, normal and heavy depend on our preferences... |

QUOTE(farghmee @ Feb 4 2014, 09:07 AM) the EPS sometimes feel like Game Racing Steering Wheel (Logitech G27). on long journey, the EPS need more attention(?). (ok, i dunno whether this is due to Lotus handling or the steering system itself. on gen2, while moving, the steering is sturdy, while in jazz, the steering will move a bit a bit, then it need more attention in controlling the steering. at 1sttime, i found this to be tiring.) can the EPS swap with playstation controller? hahahaha  EPS can be heavy too as the feedback will create virtually from the motor... Cerato supported to change driving mode (Normal, Sport and Comfort) depend on user preference... but unsure whether support automatic mode or not depend on car speed... http://www.nazakia.com.my/models/cerato/#D-Features |

QUOTE(farghmee @ Feb 4 2014, 09:24 AM) this is i cannot comment. my observation is, in jazzs' EPS u cannot turn the steering unless the engine is ignited, while in gen2's HPS u can move the steering hardly without the engine is ignited. as for most electrical systems, Redundancy precaution must be there. emm..since it's EPS, no Hydraulic Oil for Steering. if redundancy wont be cheap, it should consisted of the motor, electric board, wire, sensor, space consumed, etc...  The reason going for EPS is light weight, space saving (no hydraulic system), cost reduction and capabilities of changes driving mode changes... but still sometime analog (passive) based still wise choices if talk about safety... if every devices changed to electronic (active) based are not a good idea AMO... just like "chicken or egg" story... |
