Can the curse of modern cars, steering feel, be retrofitted?

I thought I had found the answer to my search for 'the one' - characterful engine, rear or 4wd, good noise, properly quick but usable on B-roads, great build, modern tech and quality interior, space for a drumkit, stealthy enough for daily use - in the current Audi RS3 until I drove one and was distinctly underwhelmed by the lack of feel from the handling.

This got me wondering, if the only thing 'wrong' with an RS3 is how un-feeling it is to drive, what would it take to add back the thing that's missing?

This is not a thread about what other vehicles might fit that bill, rather, could the one thing that's missing from cars you'd otherwise buy be engineered back in after-market? Suspension components or geometry, steering rack mods? Tyres?

should have added, without radically altering the other stuff that is right.

Hmmm, how to quantify 'feel'. Sensation of being connected to the wheels would be a start. Just felt really disconnected.

I can't really see why you'd want 'steering feel' in a car like an S3.

because I don't think feel and connection detracts from enjoyment or comfort of a car. Sure, hard as nails race configured suspension or lairy lightweight screaming through the wheel would be too wearing in a daily, but to have nothing appreciable coming through?

Why wouldn't you want it?
