Speed Sensitive Steering
So this may be a simple to answer question, but could someone please explain how the speed sensitive steering works. It doesnt seem to be something that I notice while driving, but I assume that you have to turn the steering wheel less at higher speeds to turn the car?

No, it simply varies the power assist. At low speeds, the assist is high, so that the wheel turns easily while parking and such. At high speeds, there is little assist so that the car feels more natural and doesn't dart around. It is pretty seamless and you can't really notice it unless you drive an SVX with the engine sensing type. It is a pretty simple system that is pretty common place nowadays. Even cars like the camry have it, but it was pretty advanced back then.

Hey, the Camry is getting pretty uppity, not the mundane grocery getter it was 15 years ago... The Scion xB has the same motor (2.4L) (The new one, the old xB has the 1.5L) and there is a supercharger available for it.. It's got a really long shaft on it, I'm waiting for one to come in with a broken shaft so I can shorten it and modify it to fit the SVX :-P
