Default Heavy turn in on these things?

My only concern about the car is the really heavy turn in (I think that's what it's called - when you start into a turn). Coming out of my BMW it's really noticeable. Just feels like it takes a lot of effort. Anyone else comment on this?

Default It is part of the "adaptive" steering. The steering is heavily boosted for easy turning in a parking

lot, but the power steering is almost completely shut off when you are turning at speed. Very noticable out on a track, but also nice because you get a very good feel for the track instead of a completely numb feel like an A6. City streets are somewhere in between the extremes and turnin is easy when you are not on the throttle or at higher speeds.
