    What Owners Say

    Power steering

    "Electric power steering needs to be re-engineered. It oversteers when making small adjustments such as when doing long-distance highway driving. Because it oversteers when making small adjustments on steering, it is very tiring and annoying to constantly have to re-adjust steering wheel position over and over. By the way, this same problem is evident when trying to use the lane-assist feature. The car continuously corrects from side to side such that safety becomes a consideration. We do not use this feature anymore."
