NGL, I wasn't too disappointed in the zero-feel but super-quick and *precise* steering of my '01 AP1 S2000, coming from a MAX-feel high-effort *slow* manual rack in my 240Z. 2017 BRZ's steering was just about perfect. '23 loses a bit of feel and also the EPS gives up at some corners at some tracks, curious that they had fixed that in gen-1 but then the issue came back for gen-2...

I think the hydraulic vs. electric is not a big deal.

Everybody lauded those last Porsches with hydraulic as having the best steering ever but I never got used to it, greatly preferred my '17 BRZ's steering on road and track when I was comparing the two in 2019. After a year's comparison on road and track I sold the Porsche and kept the BRZ...
