[REVIEW] Q50: Direct adaptive steering

Infiniti Q50 just arrives dealership this summer.

This car has a world's first steering technology: Direct adaptive steering (option). Infiniti claims this system uses electronics to streamline the steering mechanism for a more precise feeling behind the wheel. This system was also tuned by F1 Champion Sebastian Vettel to enhance comfort and performance.

However, Road and Track seems not to appreciate this technology. It said "The Q50 is simply too good at editing analog reality into a bland video-game simulacrum. On the track, it's probably brilliant. In the real world, we didn't trust it."  Based on this reason, the review gave the Q50 the last place, compared to Lexus IS350 (1st), BMW 335(2nd), and Cadillac ATS (3rd).

I haven't driven the Q50 yet and don't know how "Direct adaptive steering" works. But just based on the sales number, a lot of people still like Q50. Look forward to driving one soon!

This world's-first system uses electronics to streamline the steering mechanism for a more precise feeling behind the wheel. Over uneven roads, this moderates the need for constant, subtle adjustment, imparting a commanding feeling while helping shield the driver from excessive road vibrations.
