Aygo Steering

[d71146]

Hi All,

Just a general question over steering.

Do members find the power steering quite heavy at times for the size of car an Aygo.

I sometimes am sure the steering gets a shade heavy at times unless its my imagination,does anyone find the same.

I did notice the Aygo's steering was noticeably weightier than my Yaris' but TBH I preferred that as, IMHO, the Yaris steering is quite over-assisted (Admittedly it's great for doing tricky parking manoeuvres!)

That said, it's nowhere near say, a Mk2 Micra or old Golf! (Who needs to lift weights when you are trying to park one of those! esp. if the Golf has thick tyres!! )

I found my mk2 yaris was quite easy to overshoot steering if I wasn't careful, but the Aygo is not heavier yet it doesn't oversteer.

i find the steering to be light but i feel its a bit unresponsive you seem to have to turn the wheel alot when you turn off a main road into a side road,its probably since the aygo isnt mine and i drive it rarely.

I'd be looking at my front tyre pressures.

tyre pressures are fine 32psi tyres are good, the car was bought new end of march this year its just the way it is,as i said im used to my own car thats different to drive,

it maybe that lock to lock the aygo has more turns

Funny but I never thought it was heavy, but the last couple of weeks of driving my new X-pression model, I've switched between the two (as I still have my old model) & the difference is very noticable, but not sure if this is just the obvious difference between new & old rather that between models...if you know what I mean.
