Do you use the City Button

[Munkul]

i drive my GF's mk2 punto sporting all the time but i never use the city steering mode ever. its far too light and the standard mode is easy enough to turn even in carparks. i guess small girls may need it, but i think it was added more as a unique selling point rather than a useful feature. its a pointless gadget, and tbh i like pointless gadgets even the ones i never use. i would much prefer the city button to do the opposite and almost remove all assistance, that would be great!

:yeahthat:

never thought about it doing the opposite, that would be cool.

You mean like how the 'Sport' button works in the Bravo Tjet which interestingly replaces the City button?

I dunno, the diesels don't get a sport button

Now if Fiat had given us a sport button for an extra 50bhp and 60Nm torgue on demand... :chin:

Don't question the masculinity of Tia Maria. Especially when served with chocolate milkshake.

I used to use it when getting out of the car park at work, its a really tight bend, and if there are cars coming towards you, it can take a while to get out. However didn't use it for a while as I started going a different way out.

Used it today while going to Tesco and not sure what I prefur.

yes, not much though, hard to explain.

it feels lighter at low speeds and heavy over about 30ish with sport on, but we're not talking the differences you would see with a city button, which makes me think its all in my head.

Biggest difference is what happens when your right foot tickles that long thin pedal on the right

i use it. TBH the only time i really use it is on supermarket car parks. I never use it when moving "properly" whats the point

Also the turning circle on coupe was awful - that car was in need of city button. the steering was more responsive when reversing into a space i never went in front first!
