For everyday street driving purposes at least, the e-steering is superior.

You don't need to feel every bit of texture in the asphalt, with "micro-dancing" of the wheel, which can ultimately be tiring during a long road trip. (Think "GT." ) The "[i]μ[/i]-split torque recommendation" definitely keeps the car straighter under hard braking, especially because most any public road has an "uneven surface" to some degree. Admittedly, loading in turns is less linear than the hydraulic, then again, I'd love to compare it [i]that[/i] to the completely [i]unassisted[/i] steering in the early 911 and 912.
