>> Can anyone explain this "connected to the road" thing?
For me, it's just a nebulous, abstract feeling I get from a car. In some cars (like the Astra I mentioned) I had a distinct feeling that I wasn't totally in control and that the car could, at any moment, do its own thing. It's not to do with racing around at full pelt, I'm not the sort to do that, I don't have the requisite skill. I think it comes from a "dull" or "dead" feeling from the major controls - steering, gearchange, clutch, brakes. When things feel vague, I don't feel quite so connected.
