4. Feeling the ratio vary while excellerating was also odd, not the same as FWD torque steer, but slightly the same in loss of road feel, the car was doing something I didn't ask it/want it to do.

I have active steering, and generally like it. It makes this biggish car feel very nimble.

But it is true every now and then you can feel something going on when you're accelerating out of a turn. The torque steer comparison is a good one. Just something a little twitchy up there.

So I'd still get it; but there is that one uneasy period during acceleration. Not dangerous, just something going on up there.
