4 wheel steering
I have the 4 wheel steering option. It makes the car incredibly agile. However, I was wondering, why did they make the rear wheels turn by such a tiny angle. If i remember correctly, the angle is just 3 degrees. Is there a reason why they did not make it something like 10 or 15 degrees? It would be an incredible expereince but what is the reason they didn't do it?

I think it has to do with design limitations, I think the rear steering relies on flex of rubber bushings and doesn't really have proper ball joints that would allow for wider swing like the front suspension.
