I find that this site gives a good explanation of EPS... (Insight EPS design should be really similar to S2k according to the article)

Before reading this thread, I was really thinking EPS is the same as the EHPS (Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering) system, which was being used for a long time (e.g. MR-2 SW20)
Seems that the lack of feedback is because of the too-precise and never-late assist force from the EPS motor, if compared with traditioanl hydraulic system...

Could it be because we have EPS (electric power steering)? I doubt the steering wheel is even directly connected to the front wheels, making feedback non-existant.

All steering wheels have some mechanical linkage to the front wheels. (Drive-by-wire steering is absolutely illegal.) The S2000 is assisted by an electronic servo, not the traditional hydraulic power steering.
