Hello,

I hope You guys can answer my question. I keep reading in US magazines that modern Acuras do have a too light, numb, disconnected steering feel without sufficient feedback. I do read the same in EU magazines about Hondas which are usually identical to some Acuras.

Well, I drive a Civic Type R (FN2) with electrohydraulic steering, which was reviewed by the journos as a numb steering without enough steering feel, but in reality it is very good.

Through the steering rim I can feel the surface change of the road, the surface of the road signs - if I pay particular attention of course - , the steering moves in my hand on rougher surfaces and - most importantly - in a faster bend I can feel the front tyres loading whic gives confidence. This is steering feel for me.

Now on this basis, what do you think a RLX or a TL SH-AWD steering is like? I would really appreciate your opinions.

I feel as though it's responsive. I think critics and automotive journalist opinions are like assholes and they only rate cars on "benchmarks"; which I sure don't determine their personal purchases.

Yes it's very responsive but in terms of actual tactile feel and feedback of the road's surfaces... it is definitely numb compared to say... an E90 335i with hydraulic power steering.
