2022 GTI Steering Feel in Sport / Normal

Post by es_paradis »

Tried to use sport mode in Normal and then switched to Sport (or Individual with the steering set to Sport) and I could barely tell the difference. I was expecting the steering to become a bit heavier, but it's still pretty light. Can anyone tell the difference or is it supposed to be subtle?
Mind you, other parameters are changed - the gearbox is much more responsive and the throttle input is way more spontaneous. Truth be told, if the car is left in Normal mode, it feels a no different than my friends 1.0 TSI.

Thank you!

I'm also curious about this or am I just being a dunce? I could not tell the difference between normal and sport steeing modes either.

In mine the steering feels heavier in sport. I don’t like it, but I don’t use sport due to the vibration from the fake engine noise anyway.
