My first impressions on getting the FL2 6 weeks ago was the amount of lateral movement I was getting at low speeds - a constant right left rocking that felt as if the left hand side was going over a series of gentle speed bumps. Perhaps I am used to it now, but I no longer notice it. I also got rid of the Scorpions on the front and replaced them with a couple of Quatracs, which may have helped.

Thanks, I am hoping Its normal and I will get used to it. The steering is so light in comparison from previous cars. doesn't help that I gone from an Audi A1 to this so size is a bit different! |

I haven't, could it be that then? Do you know what is the recommended PSI for the 18" wheels" |

18" wheels are 32 psi all round. The pressure doesn't change with the car loaded.

Having driven a few FL2s I think it's something you get used to. Whenever I drive my wife's Peugeot 207 (or certainly my son's Porsche 911) it feels a lot more precise than an FL2 going around corners. My wife often says that with the FL2 you coax it around the corners rather than drive it. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Definitely a different ride than I am used too! I cant get over how light the steering is for such a big car. |
