Go drive one. That would be your best explanation.

The DC5's steering has been commented that there is a bit of decieving/lack off feedback and if you have driven the care for long enough you will notice there is a slight dead spot.

i love the steering in my car....

my brother on the other hand dosn't (he owns a EG civic with DC2r running gear and front sussy)

the steering is heavy.... go drive one and you'll understand.

hmm dead spot?
I've driven the DC2R but i don't really think it's that much difference in feeling of the steering wheel between the DC5 and DC2....but maybe i need to drive the DC2R for longer

yeah, the turning circle is a bit annoying in the pre face lift model DC5...

the new DC5's turning circle has been improved.
I owned both and my TypeS is much easier to manouver in the carpark

If you have your steering straight and if you turn left/right a little the car dosen't turn. It is very slightly, only really felt it on the track. Apparently it goes away with the JDM lca, knuckles and etc treatment (coming from Ben).

Hahah.. you guys complaning about turning circle. You should try the turning circle in the Evo 9. :p
