I noticed that when I turn the steering wheel left, right, left, right, etc, when driving, the car feels elastic. I cannot explain it, it's like its twisting instead of being rigid. It feels soft.

Is the 6th gen like that or is something wrong?

yea mine feels a bit softer than when it was new also. Then again its not that light of a car so bumps during corners will kinda throw it off.

you may have worn out your shocks or struts. maybe both...

you can buy a front and rear set from Cattman or importrp... check out the Group Deals/Sponsors area.

While your at it, get some lowering springs. the work is really easy but time consuming. do a search on these forums for how to remove the [3-S's]: struts, shocks and springs.
