While driving at in-town speeds-- 25-50MPH, I found the active steering to feel sharper than the non-active steering. When you throw the car in to hard turns at those speeds, the AS meshes extremely well with the active roll stabilization in my opinion. I don't notice much difference between the AS and non-AS on the highway at normal speeds.

Yes. Isn't it good when things are how they are supposed to be?

I had a loaner with AS for a week and once I got back my car (without AS), I saw a huge difference. I loved the AS. My next car will definitely be with AS.
