That is a very subjective thing. I very much enjoy the light, easy steering of the A7. A few weeks ago I drove a friend's BMW 5 and it felt to me like driving a truck. The steering was very heavy and did not spin back to the center when I let it go after a turn. The Audi steering does.

It is an individual thing. There is also an adjustment to change the feel of the steering, I am not very familiar with that as I had mine set to comfort from day one.

I was going to say if yours is like mine an S7 you can adjust the steering from comfort, to auto, to dynamic or set up a custom setting where steering can be dynamic but suspension comfort and so on. I had a BMW but an X5 so expect it to drive differently. I do think the adjustments relates to more speed sensitive steering but I have only had this guy a week. All in all I sure like it better.
