Yes, there is a difference in how much effort it takes to turn the wheel between comfort, normal and sport. Some think it is slight or negligent, others think it is a big difference. I had a hard time telling at first, but now I can tell which mode I'm in when I'm driving just by the feel. I prefer Sport most the time, except long trips I put it in comfort.

What size tires do you have on the front, not sure if that makes a difference, but my 305's are a lot harder to turn when on sport while not moving or moving slow, versus on normal mode. I would imagine the narrower the tire, the less noticeable the mode changes are.

on my '15 it is considerably tighter, immediate response, where normal is slightly more loose and comfort is terrible. I have it on Sport steering the whole time.

The only time I'm not in Sport is when I'm in cruise control on the highway steering with my knees while I'm trying to open a bottle or unwrap a sandwich. My knees have an easier time keeping it straight in Comfort mode.

Either your car is broken, or your butt dyno needs a recalibration.

Yes normal, sport, and comfort steering settings all have very different feels to them.

I can feel the difference. I like to use "comfort" on roads where the surface is uneven. Less fiddling with the steering wheel. Honestly, I use "normal" most of the time, and "sport" only occasionally.

The difference between Normal and Sport isn't huge, but it's certainly there. Comfort is waaaaaaaaaaaay too light for my tastes, though. :)

I have a 3.55 base manual. Once I finally tried sport, I will NEVER go back to normal or comfort. The sport mode is just so much tighter . . .

Comfort for 1 handed city driving, normal is good for all around driving, and sport is good for highway driving. IF you can't feel the difference then your upper left part of your brain is low on vitamin U

I completely forgot to try the steering wheel mode!! I'll have to wait for Monday which is winter, Tuesday still winter, Wednesday Thursday Friday Sat and Sun all are high winds and chances of rain... which makes it a typical Spring.

Nuts.... :headbonk:

What, you mean to tell me with all that you can't dial your phone also......:shrug: :D

OP, hopefully the difference in the steering modes can be felt better than the modes in my '13. It's so slight in the '13 I've never changed it in the six year after I first tried them.
