I love my AUDI, I really do... but the steering feel?

Does anyone else find it dead?

Yup, this is how I feel about my RS7; pretty numb in all facets of the driving experience except the rush forward.

I'm surprised to hear this about the lighter, more nimble *5 though.

To be fair, or more so unfair, the guy is comparing 2 lightweight, small vehicles to a bloated, luxury biased AWD. Not the greatest comparison.

Uh... in a word.... "Nope!" One of the best things about my '15 S5 IS the steering and the "feel."

In Dynamic plus Sport mode... steering is great. In Comfort mode... it feels a tad softer. So, when I know I'm heading into twisties and such... D + S and all's well with the world...
