About the 'light' steering feel

In 'Normal' mode, yes, it is light but nothing like a Camry for example. However on Sport modes it firms up nicely along with feel. It is just perfect in my opinion esp in combination with the Msport steering wheel on my 35is. I have a Oct10 build so Im not sure if they updated the steering response software, but it feels fantastic at speed.

And the ride quality even on Sport+ mode and 44psi 19 inch RFT's is very decent indeed for a sports car. Almost luxurious. I was expecting a slightly harsh ride as per some reviews esp with 19's but have found nothing of the sort!

I was very surprised at the difference between my 23i and my new 35is.

There is a huge contrast between the two and the iS steering setup is vastly superior.

No problem with ride quality here either with 19" rflts.

The only issue I have at the moment is I can't get to drive the car with all this snow around.

The steering the the "is" is quite different than in the "i" -- that was a major reason I went for it.
