does it really make a difference? do you feel any different from one that doesnt have?

 

Actually it does. As your speed increase, the power steering is reduced. I drove the sedan when I got the loaner. I'm assuming its like the sedan because it always feels the same no matter what speed you're driving. The sedan's steering felt a lot lighter than my coupe. Probably the coupe without active steering is tighter than the sedan and feels the same all the time. But not as tight as the rear active steering option.

All 350Zs come with rear active steering I think and so does the new 5 series bmw.

Rear Active steering is not necessary for daily driving. On the track, however, it improves steering accuracy

 

its also a $700 difference ;D

 

so not really a necessary option.. nice saves me some doe

 

thanks for all the good input davince

 

Obviously it's not a necessary option, just like the 6MT. You just have to decide if $700 is worth the greater agility and handling.
