The steering feel in the S2000 is better, it's certainly more precise in response. Maybe I focused more on the feedback aspect and got a negative vibe from it, and you focused more on the overall feel and got a positive vibe from it.

In any case I do believe that EPS sucks and I haven't driven a car with it that I like yet, but it looks like before long I won't have a choice.
Have you driven the latest Porsche EPS? Quite good.

In any case, how we interpret feedback is highly driver specific. Some people are more seat of the pants drivers while others might rely more on the feel from the steering wheel. I know I've always been more of a seat of the pants type of driver, so I probably don't require as much "feedback" from the wheel since I'm getting enough everywhere else. I "know" what the car is going to do based on my inputs and don't really rely on what I'm feeling from the wheel itself.

This probably explains why I like a car that rotates off the outside rear wheel and rotates very, very easily. I think people that prefer a tighter car (bias towards understeer) would rely more on the steering wheel than their butt.

Edit: And Dan, when the car doesn't do as I expect I simply Steve it.
