It had great steering feel. Can anyone comment on the steering feel of the 1-series and other BMW models? In other words, is this guy right?
I'm sure real experts will chime in with first hand experience, but if you read British magazines like Evo I think it's pretty much true that steering feel (at least a meaningful one) is becoming a thing of yesterday.

It doesn't help the cause either that the face-lifted 1 now has a fuel saving electric assisted steering.
