Whenever I read a review of a Fiat, I almost always see the words, 'Fun to drive, but steering lacks feel', or 'steering feels numb', or 'steering needs more weight'.
My girlfriend is not particularly strong (unless she is throwing something at me), but she says she never uses the 'City' button on her mk2 Punto because normal power steering is plenty light enough, so it is a complete waste. Instead, I think the 'City' button should basically be a power steering on/off button. When in town, turn it on, when on the twisties, turn it off, enjoy the extra feel and remove the reviewer criticism.
My brother's girlfriend is not exactly strong, and she adored the unassisted steering on my brother's mk1 Punto. She despises the lack of feel in his Celica (190 BHP), and would rather be driving the Punto (60 BHP).
