Default Panamera 4 drive

I test drove the 2011 panamera 4 twice - for some reason the steering doesn't feel tight at al, for a sports car. It is quite soft like my passat. My cayenne has a much tigher steering compared to this.

My other choice is the 550 which feels quite good - you feel the connection between the steering and the road. I tried the sport mode on the panamera and it didn't make much difference to the steering

Is my observation correct?

Yes.

It's a luxury car not a sports car.

I find I really enjoy ours, more so in "sport" mode. Really love it as a 4 seater.
I was leaning towards Cayenne, but wife wanted this P4. I am quite happy we did.

Not so much the power but the road feel and comfort.

I was willing to overlook selling the first P!g to get a second (newer) P!g.
However, now he has crossed the line.
