Hello!

Like many of you I came to Q8 from Q7 which I still got (year 2016). One think that I noticed when switching to Q8 was that steering wheel needs a lot more power to turn around. I even tried to play with individual settings but this do not change nothing.
In Q7 and my S3 when in comfort mode - steering is super light and comfortable - that is what I like in Audis. OK its not like Cadillac (got one and loving it) but you know what I mean

Question is - is Q8 more "sporty focused" and they make steering assist level weaker on purpose?
One more thing could be that on Q7 I have 255 tires (20") and on Q8 285 (22") but it should not make such a difference!
Or maybe tires are so sticky (conti 6) that is making this effect?

Any of you had similar feeling about that or it just only me?

The q8 steering is definitely heavier than the q7, and I like that

I found the q7 steering to be too light/easy, even in dynamic/sport

Do you have the rear-axle steering? I do have it, and I found the Q8 steering felt artificial and too heavy in the Sport setting so changed it to Auto and it feels much better.

Yes I have rear-axle steering in Q8. I have it on auto/comfort and for me its still too heavy (compared to Q7), but I guess I need to use to it, which I slowly do.

Indeed Q7 have a light steering even in dynamic mode - but I did like it - its not a performance car, so why it should have?
