servotronic steering

Has anyone driven the panamera without the servotronic steering ? Does the steering feel any tighter without it?

Yes the steering is tighter especially at low speeds and when parking. When my Dealer gives me a loaner without Servotronic I can immediately tell the difference. If I had it to do over I would NOT order the Servotronic steering again. Servotronic is a little too light for me. I enjoy the feel of the road more without the Servotronic. However, it is an inexpensive option and if you want it, you should get it.

I have driven both and opted for the servotronic. At road speeds, I noticed no difference. It is at parking lot speeds that I was able to feel the lighter steering--as advertised.
