I did few road test with Q50 but never with the Direct Active Sterring.
So yesterday , i had a chance to test a Q50S AWD with DAS, 19 inc wheels
First i must tell you that i live in Montreal (canada) and here we have probably the worst road in north america. In some road with avec some kind of track or channels that are digged buy trucks in snow melting season.
I know with large tires the car use to go in those tracks and following them, going out of them requires an effort on the steering wheel.
When i was driving this Q50 i noticed a strange behavior. The car was rocking from right to left, like if you are turning quickly the steering from left to right, to left to right etc.. very fast.
I didn't like this feeling. My interpretation is that the DAS was trying to correct my direction trying to pulling me out of the track, following by the natural behavior of the tire to go bac in the track, following a correction from the DAS etc..
Before trying it , i had a very postifiv attitude telling myself to not listen what reviewer said about DAS, it should be a good option to take.
But i must say in certain conditions it could be a bad option to take.
May be i m going to give it another try with non sport and 17 inches wheels.
