The point is that it is assumed that the EPS will be worse/useless. It's a dangerous assumption to make, especially if it is not only assumed but stated as a fact...

no one said it would be worse
once and for all, what I said was that 3kg loss in weight (which im not even sure how you quantify because it doesn't seem like they even designed a hydraulic system in the first place, so how do you quantify weight loss vs a system that was never designed) was not a significant factor in the decision to go electric vs hydraulic.
its not like they said, well, we were gonna go hydraulic but we can save 3kg using electric so lets do that. they did it for financial reasons, and that's fine. I just don't understand even bringing up the weight loss as a factor in the decision because IMO it was basically irrelevant towards deciding to go electric vs hydraulic.
I am sure they will dial in the electric system well, and I will almost certainly buy an m3 unless audi brings the rs3 and it has a manual.
Ive driven a new 991 with the electric steering and IMO its better in every way than the 997, including the steering. So I am in no way anti-EPS
