Thank you, that makes sense. I did drive the Impreza up to 80 mph and it was super wobbly/twitchy. I chalked it up to the chassis but it may be steering ratio. How is the Giulia at high speeds? Shouldn't it also be very twitchy then ?

EDIT: After doing some research seems like the Giulia has sort of an on-center dead spot at high speeds that allows for some leeway in steering inputs.
