all cars will slowly go off to the left when let go of, as if the driver was to fall asleep they would go towards the curb and not the cars on the other side of the road, in england that is.
'City' button is far less effective than the older mk2 punto but more effective (noticable) than the stilo city function.

Agreed.
GP City button off - lighter than equvialent setting in a Mk 2.
City button on - bit heavier than the equiv setting in a Mk2.
No probs here with the weight of the steering in either mode - jsut right IMHO.

Sorry, disagree with that bit, wider tyres make steering heavier not lighter. Ever tried parking a car with very wide wheels? Over inflated tyres will make steering lighter though so, as others have said, check that.I wouldnt go any wider than the existing tyres, wider tyres make the steering lighter
You guys will not recall the Rover SD1
I think is not just the steering effort, there is more going on. You guys will not recall the Rover SD1, QUOTE]
My old man had 2 of the damn things! The second kept stopping in rain a lot as it was an SE, so was the usual scenario of British Leyland Electrics + Water = Problems!!!
As for the light steering, could the power steering fluid have anything to do with it?
