Personally, I think the differences regarding rack and pinion and recirculating ball are vastly overblown and rife with oxymoronic marketspeak and mob thinking. I care about results. The Crossfire has amazing handling and steering precision. For serious racing (which I don't do) there is a small difference - otherwise it's mostly about rack and pinion steering being much cheaper so manufacturers make more profit by using it - totally sensible. It's NOT the golden fleece or a non-stop ticket to Valhalla.
