    after experiencing loose steering feel i took the CX3 to bengkel, they sort of adjusted the steering rack (for free) and now it’s a bit better. the slackness of the steering disappeared somewhat, but the unnatural vagueness is still there.

    still knocks a bit if saw the wheel. It will also torque steer under moderate throttle, and i still don’t think it’s normal but if i drive regularly and let the car settle before pushing it then it’s ok.

    that said the EPS on the CX3 is surprisingly quite good if you ignore the vagueness, especially when under load. I could also feel the road as it responds to lumps and bumps. The body control is decent if you are willing to be patient and let the chassis settle when pushing.

        but what if the turns are extremely tight and successive lol, the body roll will upset the car’s balance you will have to take it easy to let the car settle lol. The Miata does roll a bit from factory, so do a lot of Japanese sports car actually, it’s so the car feels fun.

            I think, occupant comfort is not limited by grip/acceleration alone, but by also the rate of change of acceleration (in all directions and rotations).

            And don’t forget NVH and sensations lol… check this video out for example

            I gotta admit I screamed like a little bitch when my friend took me out in his 1JZ-GTE Supra too… wasn’t going fast if I wanted to be honest.
