If I may add a question. How does non-power steering affect the mid engine balance...asides using more force on the wheel?
I've driven several Boxsters/S' and always felt the sense of balance (and confident) with the car while cornering. Driving the Euro Elise, I didn't really feel as confident.
I'm unsure how to describe it but it felt as if I was starting to approach the traction limits, even thought there was no way I could be that close, because I wasn't really pushing the Elise.
I'm not sure if the feel is due to the lack or power steering, shorter wheel base, or stiffer suspension? Perhaps what I was feeling was the slight and momentary traction loss from rough pavements while cornering?
That being said, I think the Elise will be more challenging to drive that other car (except maybe the rear engine 911). You know, I may be wrong, but I THINK there was a bit of rear engine feel to it also.
