Alfa Romeo 4C - Awfully fun

A little help? Please?

Three words... No. Power. Steering.

Nope. Not even an option. Call me lazy but, like most people, I've gotten used to having a little help steering a car, especially at parking speeds. And I've also gotten used to automakers managing to provide decent steering feel in cars with power steering. So Alfa Romeo's reasoning behind not having it -- they want drivers to have the best possible feel of the road -- seems just a little bogus.

Its true, though, that feedback from the road is about as good you could possibly get short of dragging your tongue across the asphalt. Every bump, patch and ripple can be felt in your fingertips. The steering is also unbelievably responsive. Each twitch of your wrist is transferred directly to the front wheels.
