I think that the steering makes u more "in tune" with the car.. personal preference ofcourse but man do I love it..
it also makes it feel more solid. imo..
I agree. I love my car's steering. Driving my dad's GTI, the "Sport" steering setting is too heavy, I like the "Normal" setting better, it suits the "light on its feet" character of the car very nicely. Our cars' heavier steering suits our cars' heavier feeling.

its funny because the heavy steering makes it feel like your driving a tank..
and oddly enough.. at high speeds the car feels like its on rails..
wich you would think.. heavy steering would amount to slow unresponsive wich is not the case.. I know our cars have suspension flaws and ofcourse the narrowness is not supercar status.. but the heavy steering is deff a plus with this car.
I love it!

I think I'd like to describe the heavy steering as making the car feel solid. I don't like to think of my car as a tank, although the 1ers are a little portly. lol
