The AU steering does get a bit to get used to in that it is light and precise. Feels like your driving something a lot smaller than a Falcon.

The steering is one of the main reasons I bought an AU. SOOO much better than a BA-BF which is heavy and wooden. The steering does make the AU feel deceptively small and light.

I think it would have to be the stereo for me. But by some act of God the original stereo in mine is still working most of the time

A boat!?!? More like a yacht. The only problem I have with the steering in the AU is the fact that the steering wheel and seat position isn't aligned.

can't believe everyone else likes AU steering over BA...maybe i'm just too strong & don't have a problem with heavy steering - yeah, i'll go with that

I find my AU steering well weighting ... it's not light at all ... not compared to my Territory (it is much lighter).
