+1, a lot of people like BMW because of the stiff steering. My wife actually likes this stiffness better than other Japanese car she test drove.
Seriously, if you want soft steering, go for a Toyota, Honda, or Niissan.
P.S. I actually thought this car should be a bit more stiffer to improve the handling on corners.
