Hi,
I know this has been discussed a few times but there doesn't seem to be a solid answer on it as some say their car is the same and other say it centres properly. I have a 2018 Rex with 104k miles on the clock. Only had it a few months and it's my first i3. The steering doesn't self centre all the way, it just feels 'stiff'. It will get to within 10 or 20 degrees of centre then stay there. If I'm driving down a straight road I can turn left or right a bit and the car will just keep turning. Same in both directions. Power steering seems to be working ok as turning the wheel when stationary is certainly assisted, but it gets tiring driving long distances as making small movements to keep in lane seem to take more effort than I've noticed in any other cars. It's like it sticks wherever you leave it.
I can't believe this is by design - with any other car you can pretty much steer with your fingertips but not my i3.
Any ideas/experiences?
Thanks!
Ted
