Steering differences

I have no idea... I am going to the dealer at the end of the month and will ask...

Was this a gradual change? Or something was done to the vehicle and a flip of the switch kind of change?

Please send an update to the gang afterwards; I’m pretty confused. I don’t know how much of this is “Quartermastery” or something else altogether- like SW, steering box setup, caster etc etc. If all units had steering like the QM I drove yesterday (I also couldn’t really hear any steering pump feedback - or at least it was negligible), the noise level in the market would be 50%. You would still have complaints about return to center and turning radius, and most of us would say “yeah, I really think the Fiat 500 is what’s right for you.”

Basically same experience with a service loaner last week. The steering was much much better.

I had a loaner for all last week. It had a 9/2024 production date, mine has 9/2023 production date. Except for the loaners KO2’s and my ‘Stones, they drove exactly the same.

When I went in for my 12k service the loaner steered just like mine that is lifted on 35's.
I have never felt that the steering was an issue, just different than IFS vehicles.
