Default Light Steeering

Had my car now for about 5 days. Does the steering seem overly light to any one else? Any ideas for settings that may help this. Also noticed my tire pressure up front was around 42 so I lowered it. Maybe that will help.

2012 A6 prestige / Phantom / Nougat

It is light at low speeds but it gets heavier at higher speeds, I did not change Dynamic mode is Audi select via MMI yet, but you can select steering dynamic and it makes it feel bit heavier.

Steering in Dynamic is definitely the way to go. Still to light compared to what I'm used to from BMW or Porsche, but definitely improves things. You may not like the aggressive throttle response (not useful for me in slow traffic, for instance) and can customize settings under Individual.

Set her up to Dynamic for tighter steering. No, it will not be equal to a BMW, but you should like it more. Then, pull back on the transmission selector so that your dash reads 'S-D' and not just 'D' and feel the gears wind up. You can almost wind up to the red line. OR, push the tranny selector to the right then you must change the gears yourself (for those with Sport pkg and paddle shifters even more fun)..

I love this car
