• Old work used to get us cheap hire cars for ridiculous journeys (like Scotland to basically Switzerland on the weight limit), worst was a hyundai i40/50? Mondeo sized, and tbf most of it was absolutely fine, but the steering at 60mph + was lethal, really heavy over weighted, and then wheel would suddenly turn and you'd be half way out of your lane. Had several of them and all drove the same, no thanks!
    Many cars since 2005 use electro hydraulic system, generally chosen for mpg/emmisons reasons i think, some have good feel others are awful, most vag cars you can adjust various parameters of the steering assistance in vcds/obd11

  • That reminds me of having a terrible Citroen hire car in Mallorca that had horrible speed sensitive steering, and would suddenly change the amount of assistance in the middle of a corner if you went above / below it's speed thresholds
