The steering in the Prius is completely computer controlled and most likely the steering wheel doesn't even connect with the front axle. I think the steering of the Prius feels great! Maybe it's because I'm used to playing computer games which have no feedback whatsoever (unless you count vibrations from force feedback) but I really like the way the steering feels. Same can be said of the Crossfire. I turn the wheel, the car turns. What else do you really need?
While I'm on the subject, how does the Toyota Prius compare to the RUF Porsche? Well, sometimes I like the ablility to drive for 400+ miles on one 10 gallon tank of gas while using voice activated commands for navigation, radio and climate control.
