I'd agree with that a little, based on my A3, but a lot of modern cars
are like that, I find, and actual handling is pretty good. I recently
had a BMW 120 hire car. The steering feedback was great (a little too
good on the motorway- very direct), but I hated almost everything else.
My wife's VW Lupo also feels a bit remote at times.

I only have the standard sports seats, which I find very good, though
not as good as recaros. I've never sat in the back!

Now that isn't good. They might have at least supplied a VAG car...
