After reading that review, I wonder what the same reviewer would say of an exige S.

I can imagine anything more "Twitchy" (influenced by the road) than that.

But glad to hear the steering is so lively. I love it!

Also I wanted to ask a question that he brought up.

He mentioned that the steering was very smooth, but the feedback had some kick and twist (not his words, but close).

Every "Lively" car I have driven that had (to me) good road feel has some kick and twist. So do really nice "Lively" cars not have that same go-kart feeling?

I mean when I drove the M3 (various times) I could only think how aweful the feedback from steering was I couldn't really feel the road at all. To me it was like there was a pillow between the steering and the road.

How do others feel about this? I mean honestly I like my 135's road/steering feel alot more than the M3. Sure the M3 is calm and controlled, but its too much so for me to really be happy with (Go karting is awesome!).

Road Feel:
Mustang GT = good but lesser than the 135. (Steering ratio too large?)
135i = good
Cayman S = better (But he torque leaves me wanting)
Exige S = best I have ever driven (But I can't get myself to buy one of these little death traps)

To me I don't want sitting in the front seat to feel like I'm sitting on my couch at home.

Thanks for the thoughts!
