my unassisted steering is rock solid at speed, no vibration or anything.
I don't find it too loud, except between 2 and 3k when it's a bit boomy. At other speeds, it's loud when accelerating but OK when just cruising.
suspension wise, it's firm, and slightly crashy, but again, for me, fine.
SFO, thanks for the feedback, my steering is unassisted as well. Based on feedback received it does seem like the front end setup/steering on mine needs a bit of attention, it's anything but rock steady! It's unpleasant holding the steering wheel at anything above 50 or so. I will be getting it checked out.
I can certainly live with the suspension setup apart from that.
