light steering

there seems to be a few threads popping up now highlighting the overly light steering as a result of the electric power steering.

For those of you who are concerned about this I would recommend specifying the variable sport steering option (can be selected without taking the whole dynamic suspension package). I was an extra £370 GBP.

I would agree that in normal mode the steering feels far too light for the size of the car but flick it into sport mode and the steering weighs up nicely. I drive is sport mode all the time - just a pity you cant get the system to default to this on start-up but I just press sport at the same time as releasing the handbrake so has become second nature.

hope this helps some of you with concerns.
