Hello guys. I bought my new Bravo Sport 150 t-jet about a month ago. I am very pleased of it, except that i cant get used to the 'soft' steering wheel. Even if i have the 'Sport' Option on, I still find the steering too sensitive for me. Most annoying is when car is on the motor-way, where even a small touch of the steering wheel will move the car to the side lane. Can this be modified? Can steering wheel be programmed to give an even more 'hard' touch that the default one? I ve read about sensors and available scanning software. Can any of these alter the sensitivity of the steering wheel?
 
I've just replied to this in the Bravo section! But here we go again.

What was your previous car? Did it have power steering? If not then the new car will take some getting used to, but you'll soon learn to love it :) (y)

Are you sure the sports button is suppost to have an affect on the steering also as it doesn't normally, it normally only sorts out the throttle responsiveness.

The steering is electrically assisted. I'm sure you could build in a switch to cut out the motor. But you would be on your own.

Ideally it would need to cut in again at low speeds and that is not possible without reprogramming the electronics and just fittign a switch might cause all sorts of faults to light up.

As for the over-light steering. I have an HGT Punto and while I like the car, TBH the steering is too light on the Mway. My solution is to drop the steering wheel down and use one hand rested on my lap so I cant shove the wheel too hard - unless I really want to of course!!!
