After my first 500 miles of SoCal driving I find my 2018 2.0T Manual Steering to be cumbersome.
A few reasons.
1. It feels like the steering is always fighting me. The feeling of the wheel is heavy more like the not having power steering or a power steering pump stating to go (on off like feel). I have a 95 Integra GSR with no power steering so I know the feeling well.
So when I'm going down the highway I'm constantly having to correct. What it might be is the lane assist. I let go of the wheel and it was like auto pilot. Keeping the car in the lane ever so slightly. So when I'm trying to steer it's constantly trying to keep the car dead center and roads just don't drive that way.
I have been playing with the settings to turn this off but still feels not right.
2. Because of all the steering work at higher speeds I have almost a death grip. So my other issues is the wheel size and thickness. Unless 10 and 2 the wheel thickness makes it hard for my hands (I'm 5' 10" and 197 lbs) to find a comfortable spot.
Overall this could be the car breaking in on its first few thousand miles or I just need to find a balance between the assist programs.
Anyone else noticing this?
