When a company says "This all new power steering box has a quick ratio with firm modern steering feel"

What is modern steering feel ? That statement says nothing unless it is further evaluated !

"It's the torsion bar, not the gear ratio that provides 'modern' steering feel."

That quote from this thread:

Personally years ago I bought an AGR box with 12:1 ratio and upgraded from the standard 210 valving to a firmer 220 valving. Absolutely outstanding out on the open road with the firmer valving.
The upgraded valving provides a firm road feel, like what you might find in a modern sporty car like a BMW, etc, yet for my needs it's adequate for around town and related parking.

( you will note in conversations some do not like a AGR box. Personally I've experienced no issues over the years with mine )
