914 steering

Hi Is the steering on the 914-6 heavier than on the four cylinder cars?

Shouldn’t be. It’s almost identical. Check alignment, tire pressure, etc.

no only with flares and wider wheels and tires does the steering feel heavier

From what I've heard, the steering on the 914-6 is generally considered to be a bit heavier compared to the four-cylinder models. The 914-6 had a larger and heavier engine, which could contribute to the difference in steering feel. However, it's always best to test drive both models if possible to get a better sense of the steering differences
