2001 vs 2002 steering
I just got my acid rain replacement car from Acura.
It's a 2002 and the steering has a different feeling to it .
It takes a little more effort than the 2001 more like my old GTI.
Has anyone else driven both years and noticed this

i know that the TL-S's have torque sensitive variable power assisted R&P steering, but i'm a bit unsure if the '02 CL-S's have it or if they're just like the '01 variable assisted R&P...if the '02 CL-S's DO have the torque sensitive steering, perhaps that's y u have the variance...at higher speeds, the steering does get quite sensitive.

But you can get maximum torque at high speed and I don't know about you but I want my steering constant at high speed.

here's what they said bout the RSX's torque sensitive steering:
Torque-Sensitive Power Steering
A "race-car" feel was a design priority for the RSX, and thus the steering system was optimized for outstanding precision and control with a new torque-sensitive system. Compared with the Acura Integra, the RSX features a quicker steering ratio for a more nimble handling response. Steering smoothness and directional stability are enhanced with a vibration-reducing, oil-filled damper in the steering box.
The rack and pinion torque-sensitive steering system of the RSX is equipped with a new variable-capacity power steering pump, which increases fuel economy by 0.5 percent.
Tracking stability is enhanced by the high-mounted steering box, which improves toe control by using long, high-mounted tie rods to steer the vehicle.
