I came from an XTrail where you had 'Popeye' arms to keep it straight, and like you I asked the same on here. The steering is very light and initially I had no 'feel' for the road and was a little wary of its cornering capabilities, also the straight ahead had me over correcting.

The steering is very light indeed, although as EY said it is something you get used too and subsequently enjoy.

Perfectly normal and you will get used to it! I actually quite like the little wobble you can get going on if you dont firmly drip the wheel. Rest assured though the car does handle well, better than expected to be honest so dont panick.

It's interesting to note that in the 'manual', under health and safety, it states that the LR2 is not designed to corner at the same speed as 'conventional passenger vehicles'. Then again, who wants to be conventional? |

Agree that the steering is lighter than I expected. I assume your tyre pressures are correct though? Having the rears too high will lighten the steering. Non-standard wheels could also have that effect. Finally, so could the tracking. Keep an eye on the fronts for tyre wear, or if you have a friendly tyre man get him to check it for piece of mind (mine said he could not adjust the tracking himself, but was happy to check it for free - mind you I have put a lot of biz his way). |
