<p>Our&nbsp;10th&nbsp;podcast&nbsp;looks at the history of steering systems. As always in our podcasts we identify the cars that first brought new technologies to production. For the steering systems, many rather obscure cars such as the Subaru XT6 and the Suzuki Cervo have led the way. The precision and feel of the steering system significantly determine the driver’s confidence and enjoyment, but sometimes these attributes were in conflict, resulting in US cars emphasising comfort and European and Japanese cars prioritising accuracy.</p><p>*****************************</p><p>Welcome to the Talking the Talk the podcast where Ireland Made® Founder Kevin Reid along with co-host, Automotive Engineering Consultant, Mike Keane explore the journey of automotive technology into mass production and the impact this has had on our motoring lives.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Upcoming podcasts will explore the history&nbsp;of suspension systems, motorcycle styling and badge engineering.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>*****************************</p><p>Kevin Reid&nbsp;</p><p>Founder - Ireland Made®</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On his Ireland Made® platform Kevin celebrates stories of Irish transport past and present.
