Im DCT M2. Always a manual guy in general. Love the mech feel of the DCT and swift shifts and sounds of its operation. I dont really notice the steering deficiency in the M2 vs the STi I had that was wonderful and hydraulic. A touch less effort overall with the M2 system. Its to me very direct/precise.
Overall driving experience is one of the best Ive had. I loved my Z but would not take the Z over the M2. I was actively pursuing the M4 but glad I picked a Long Beach Blue M2

We all have different tastes and expectation for our personal driving experience. If you are happy then you are winning. Be happy to drive and enjoy sports machines

The M2 is a "Magic Bus"
