Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / steering system | | Dutch term or phrase: strak en neutraal | Can anyone please explain the sense of strak en neutraal in the following:
Ook wat rijeigenschappen en comfort betreft is de auto allerminst verkeerd, met onafhankelijke wielophanging voor en enkelblads paraboolveren achter biedt hij zowel leeg als geladen een goed veercomfort. De tandheugel stuurinrichting is bekrachtigd en stuurt lekker ***strak en neutraal***; je hoeft er weinig aan te corrigeren. Hetzelfde geldt voor het remsysteem, het functioneert helemaal naar wens.
Thank you |

Asker: Went for Kate's in the end because I had a bit of a tight deadline and she was so quick off the mark. I am not in a position to be able to differentiate between crisp and tight, but both were certainly better solutions than what I thought strak referred to (I won't say but way off the mark). Thanks though Jack - you are always helping me out with good suggestions.
