Congrats on the new car! I picked mine up 4 weeks ago today. Similar to yours but with Dynamic Steering, DAP and I went with warm weather package instead of the Napa (also Navarra Blue). Enjoy that thing. Lots of fun to be had. I already have mine lowered and wheels on. Starting to look for more mods, but not much out yet for our car.

Oh and the reason dynamic steering probably wasnt on the lot is due to I was told that this feature was just recently added into the build capability at the plant so the earlier cars couldnt get it yet. Not sure if that is true, but it came from a very highly reliable source.

The first one I test drove did not have dynamic steering. But I have had dynamic steering on my RS5 that I just sold as well. To me, its really worth it. I mostly leave it in Auto unless I am going to be doing a long aggressive drive. I really like the additional weight you feel in the wheel as speed picks up. And then when you go slower it becomes lighter and easier to maneuver...especially when parking. There was another thread where @superswiss explained the functionality of the steering recently. He is exactly right about how it works and what the differences are. We've met up a couple times and he definitely knows his stuff. He can explain the dynamic steering way better than me...

It seems to be a feature I would have wanted but even the regular steering seems to be speed sensitive, gets much firmer at high speeds and easy at low speeds, I wonder if the feeling of speed sensitivity is just inertia, the natural tendency of the wheels to stay moving forward the faster you go. Thanks. Regards. Ned.

No mods for me, just leasing
