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
