Most if not all reviews have praised the 991's electric steering. I personally haven't driven one but one doesn't have to such an extreme to see what good EPS. The R56 MINI has a good steering setup and I find it's a lot better than the initial F30 setup. For me that's what annoyed me when I test drove the F30. It wasn't like the F30 was BMW's first attempt at it, they already had it in the R56 and to see what they did to the F30 was disappointing. Now there are other factors to consider like suspension and the MINI has a hard one which helps provide better steering but this maybe furthers the idea that perhaps BMW made the 3 a bit too soft because even in sport mode, it's still not as good as the MINI.

Just my 0.02.
