Is it always stiff, or just sometimes? Does it ever get stiffer in the middle of a turn, or maybe when you first start up, or something? And are you sure it's gotten noticably worse lately? The speed sensitive steering throws me off every now and then when I make low speed turns

Make sure to check the fluid level just in case.

I'll say because it's so freakin cold.

Add 3-5 extra psi in your tires, that will help a lot. Plus it may be low if you left your car sitting for a few days and with the cold weather the tires tend to lose air.

You can also buy a can of spinach, no not for the car, for you and built up some strong forearms.

Haha, yeah maximumsport... I know that feeling. Although once in a while in North Florida it drops below freezing and my poor Max has to deal with it =(. It's never seen snow..

Completely aside from that, I wish the steering was a little stiffer from the factory. The stock steering feel doesnt let you feel the road as much as I'd like. Is there any way to change that?
