The steering is nice and light on the M35, but its not so light that you cant feel the wheels. However to be honest its too light for MY liking, but my wife rekons its fine for her.
the anchor points are in the roof, yes. depending on the compliance place, it might be close to the tailgate, or around 400mm in (where mine are)
good luck with looking for one! if you find a good one interstate, the drive home will be awesome
also check out northshore as they have the 3.5L models available, all automatic, but they also have RWD models
