Steering
Is there a way to tighten the steering wheel feel? Even in Dynamic mode it's seems to light. If not, I guess i'll live with it. thanks.

mine is teh same and I am on the case with the dealer. The funny thing is that it was fine until the last service (I have a2012 model) when they did software update, after which it turned really light (too light for my liking) - I will advise if they manage to sort it out but it doesnt feel right now

Light Steering
Hi
I have a 2012 model and after the recent service and software update the steering went ridiculously light. I was normally driving in dynamic mode and that now is so light that it is nowhere near “dynamic” (comfort mode is unsafe to drive as there is no resistance at all). I took it back and after a week of checking of faults etc. the car was handed back to me with nothing done. I have made another appointment and suggested that we drive another car from the showroom with the same spec to compare so hope this will give some results.
Has anyone experienced anything similar, do you know if there are any solutions – it seems that the issue is with the software for the steering
Thanks

I set my steering for Comfort around town (NYC traffic and lots of negotiating tight parking spaces) and Dynamic for highway trips. The higher reesitance in Dynamic feels like I will be less likely to wander, again, maybe just a sense or feeling. Overall, though it all feels kind of non-direct and "funny" compared to my 2010 A6.

Funny you don't like the car for this reason and the main reason we are buying the car is because my wife likes the really light easy to turn steering. I test drove some BMW's and also think their steering is too tight.
