Excellent article with viewpoints we have all heard many times. Yes ... the steering feel is not what you would expect with a manual rack, weight over rear wheels and light weight. If you have ever driven 911s (pre-electric assist steering) .... you would understand steering feel.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. I love the 4C's steering and especially the twitchiness. It works perfectly.
Yes ... the rear view is tough, but that makes driving interesting. I guess I'm in the minority here, but I do not care for back up cameras. Guess I'm too old school and like to turn my head to see where I'm going.
It seems that new drivers are just not interested in a car that does "everyday chores" so wrong.
Us 4C owners are a unique small niche.
