Active steering is a must have, especially here in Europe where we have small streets in town and high speed freeway (in Germany and Italy).

I have it on my '08, and even it tooks me some days to be confortable with it (strange feeling during the first days), now I can't considering not having it.

At low speed in town, it's really easier for parking, and for sharp turns because of the low effort you have to apply to the steering weel and the high demultiplication coefficient.

At hight speed (140 to 200 km/h), the feeling is excellent with a good direction consistence and it's even safer with a strong lateral wind because of the direction wich make automatically some minor corrections to keep the ride straight !
