I have about 1500 miles now so I decided to do a little bit of hard driving/cornering. With AS it felt like I was driving a go-kart. Absolutely in control with so little effort, it was amazing. I was able to take 20mph rated turns at 45mph, no problem.

in the uk you can get the dynamic drive suspension without taking active steering which is what I did.

You do however have to add in servotronic power steering and I must say it feels different from either active or normal steering, somewhere in between.

I feel steering is bit sensitive as well. Although its great in low speeds, I hardly notice the steering ratio change when i drive on the freeways. I normally drive 70 mph on freeways but a small flick would seriosuly make the car jerk sideways. Im not sure if the ratios for active steering change at freeway speeds. I would like much stiffer and harder steering at high speeds. But this does not seem to the case. Anyone with similar experience?

Drive a little faster.... The faster you go, the more stable will your steering wheel feel.
