i got a sport 6mt and the steering wheel feels stiffer than my 05 coupe. just wondering if its just mine or does all the sports does this too.
ive test drove the 1st gen sedan and i dont recall it feels this way. also ive got an 07 base non-sport as a loaner and i dont remember it feels this stiff.
anybody with me? will aftermarker rims change anything?
not that its a bad thing but imo the steering wheel should be a tad looser like the coupe.

 

stiffer = sportier

 

+1.

 

thats true but isnt it still a sedan? why coupe didnt feel like this n its suppose to be sport/luxury

 

I love the steering wheel stiffness of the new 07s. It's a completely different feel compared to the IS350 and Audi's I test drove. It offers greater control imo.

 

sport sedan....sport being the key word. and you're comparing an 05 with an 07....

 

Do you mean the tightness in the steering, or in the wheel itself?

The new G35 has a variable pressure steering response system. I forget what its called, but its stiffens up at speed.

 

i figure thats why they called it the sport sedan lol.
anyways jus weird to me that they didnt do it to the previous gen thats all.
you just gotta get use to it thats all, by no means its bad at all.

 

My 03 feels very heavy, and I love it.

 

Actually I think the steering wheel on the 07' sports is lighter than my 04' coupe's. Not sure though...

 

my ex girl-friend felt very heavy too, i didn't like it, maybe thats why shes me ex lol.

 

LOL! Good one. 2 points!

 

It's nice to have it for manoeuvring in tight spaces. But on the other hand, I don't think I'd appreciate a Buick steering system on a sport sedan.
