Dull feel from Active Steering?

[ravenheart]

Hey everyone - testdrove an X6 today and it was the strangest experience. The steering felt completely numb. It didn't really matter what was done with the steering wheel - the car just didn't respond with any kind of urgency. Got back in our X5 (E53 4.4 with sport) and it was like stepping from a shoppingcart into a gokart.

The X6 had the 'active steering' and I figured it has to be because of that - but wanted to hear if anyone has driven an X6 without active steering and can compare it to an X5, in particular an E53 wih sport, though any input on the subject ofcourse would be apreciated.
