I have a really good metric for comparison of the electric steering vs. hydraulic. My other vehicle is an STI, which has exactly the same 13.2:1 turn ratio but being an STI, one of the unique features of STI's is that they still feature hydraulic assist. I'd say I like the steering equally. My only gripe is grip! The steering wheel on the FR-S after 6 years and 58,000 km didn't feel as grippy as I'd like on the track last weekend. It looks fine but the leather is pretty sealed from hand sweat and gets slippery. I wonder if there is an acceptable wrap?
