you mean it takes more effort to turn the steering wheel?
it's built that way, and i like it, but my wife doesn't as her car is lighter effort.
don't worry, i think you will get used to it.

thats right!
My wife has a problem with that

This is the kind of thing to test and research before purchase.

We haven;t got use to it and hate it. I am being honest when I say it takes more effort to turn the wheel as well as hold it in a turn that our 2011 Doge Ram 1500. And more than the 2007 Peterbilt truck at our shop - honestly.

It is very tiring for us on long trips. And the steering isn't as precise as the truck. The electric power steering doesn't offer a lot of useful feedback.

As I stated before. This is why test drives and research are so important before buying a car.

I have noticed that my Genesis steering is "heavier" then any power steering car I have ever owned. My wife, who is the primary driver of the car, has not mentioned any dislike for the steering.

I found that the heaviness of turning is also based on the tire type on the car. I have the new General GMax and noticed that it was harder to turn. Frankly, my wife and I like it like this. The car seems more planted to the road.
