Just bought a DC5 but I have a question!

[yiannosk2]

The car is great!!! I mean perfect!!! But the question is... Is your steering heavy?

 

[aself66]

yeah its meant to be, heavy good

 

[T666YPR]

Yeah,the difference was amazing when I had to run around in a courtesy car Civic for a couple of weeks.

Feels more accurate and positive being heavier though 8)

 

[Suped]

good for building up the arms and shoulders. You'll notice its better when giving it abit of a welly (under controlled conditions) that the steering remains the same and very direct. I do however feel abit of torque steering, but guessing thats common nature of a FWD.

 

[truffs]

heavy but very accurate

Its hydraulic power steering as opposed to electric, found in the CTR.

Really? I never knew that - I thought they were the same! I wonder why they did it different on the two TR models? :shock:

Steering is perfect IMO, the CTR's steering just didn't give me much confidence whereas the DC5 is spot on and gives nice feedback as opposed to feeling like you are driving a hovercraft on grass (not that I have done that :lol: )

[mikegsi]

agreed, the steering is deffo better than the ep3 ctr

 

[linzi94]

the steering on my civic was a bit like angel delight, light n fluffy! however the steering on my dc5 is that bit heavier so you can feel exactly what the front wheels are doing - minted.
