That’s a hard one to nail down for us mortals who haven’t driven the cars. However, I will point out that while Audi typically struggles with their steering feel (my moms Q5 and a friends A4 both have identically appalling steering feel) there are exceptions. I’ve driven a previous generation Merci, LP640 on track, and I found the steering was actually pretty involving, if a bit heavy. Seems the general consensus of the auto press is Audi’s new EMS systems are linear but devoid of any real feel. Throw in the variable steering ratio option and it only gets worse. Apparently the new R8 has really good steering though. Cool thing about modern EMS systems is the ability to constantly tune them for better feel with software changes as technology advances.
