Does the frs have speed compensated steering

It has electric power steering... So yeah. Pretty much every car since 1990 has.

What he is asking is does it reduce the steering response based on speed. In other words, turning the wheel a quarter turn at 80 has less effect on wheel angle than at 5mph.

Speed sensitive steering doesn't change how much the wheels turn, just the effort to turn the wheel. So when you're going slow, say in a parking lot and trying to park, it's very easy to spin the wheel. But when you'e going fast, say the highway, the wheel becomes very heavy.

I believe there is some variance to the wheel's heft depending on speed in the BRZ/FR-S, but it's subtle.

I was in some open desert and the steering felt like the changes at speed that the 330 ci I traded in to get the frs, but I can't find any thing about the frs steering
