Removed my 628 relay and then had to re-install it....
As soon as I took out the relay, the steering felt much tighter. In accordance to what many of you had said, above 40 mph, the car is very different and much better. However, below 20 mph, the steering feels unneccesarily tough. If I lived in a nice area with tons of curvy roads, then it would be fine and I could enjoy it more. However, in Brooklyn, New York, essentially the only steering one has to do is to avoid potholes. Has anyone else out there had the same opinions as me?

I found the same thing when I took out my 628 last week - my initial reaction was that at low speeds, I was glad I'd been doing all that upper body work at the gym, while at high speeds I loved the greater stability. Now, however, a week into it, I have become much more used to the "heavy" feel at low mph, and don't really mind it. However, if I lived somewhere where I was always parallel parking, and primarily doing stop/go driving, (as greekA6 does in my native town), I most likely would put the relay back in.

I'd love to compare a 628 to 605. I'm generally liking my 605 pulled out, but....
... in a perfect world, it would be available at 5-10 mph. My wife (105 lbs) really hates the higher steering effort.
Part of the problem is the need to re-learn steering technique at low speeds. You just can't expect to crank the wheel from a standstill. You need to turn while rolling in order to moderate the effort.
I'm keeping the 605 out, but would love something in the middle.
