Well, I was actually comparing it to some AWD and even FWD cars out there. It's just not very responsive/reactive to small inputs. You have to turn the wheel more than most cars to get it moving and it doesn't really jerk around to quick inputs at lower speeds. Some of that may be due to the low center of gravity but I think it has more to do with the suspension/steering setup. It's not a bad thing though, just unexpected.
