This! I would love a model with hydraulic steering. It has so much more feel than ‘The very best EPS system’

I wonder how much it would hurt emissions and regulation compliance? Some Japanese cars still offer it new, but I imagine cost for a single model would make this proposal impossible?

Not everyone loves hydraulic the way I do, but for my tastes, the feel is vastly superior. I am hopeful that the G80 EPS will be improved since the engineers have had many years to develop the system.
