I really don't care about working on it - I don't do my own work, but in 2 years it hasn't required any work.

I bet you are a lot of fun at car club events.
3 out of 3 very specific questions dodged

Canyon carving enjoyment is not a measurement of steering feel. Steering feel is significantly worse (barely exists) in the f8x-- it's just a reality/limitation of current (not to say it will get better, but certainly current) eps technology.

Torque is not a measure of throttle response. E.g. My m3 has better throttle response than my m5 at 3000 rpm, even though it's making less than half the torque... And the M5 still has better throttle response than the f8X. It's just a physical reality/limitation of turbos-- they must have some period of time to spool.

Not working on your own car is not a measurement of serviceability.
