Steering feel is subjective but panned universally on newer BMWs, the M2 seems to get it back to something fun, engine note works great vs the flat F80 sounds. Seems like they did a lot of good things with the car.

Steering feel is NOT subjective. It is part of the sports car experience. If you don't have steering feel, it's very hard to call a car a REAL sports car.
What you can't sacrifice in sports cars.
HANDLING
Steering feel
Lateral grip
Ample power
Lighter weight (under 3500lbs)
Low center of gravity.
None of these are subjective. Not even a little bit. If you're missing one? You don't have a true sports car. PERIOD.
I'm looking for a true sports car.
