No, there is definitely a dwell with the steering wheel strait, so it feels like manual steering once the car is moving at significant speed and turning along bends requires very minor steering input. Once there's significant turn to the wheel in either direction feeling is varied, with less assist than before, and it feels like a bump or uneven resistance to turning. After even more turning the wheel wants to walk all the way to lock. When stationary it's very minor due to the resistance in the wheels but while coasting at idle it will free wheel to lock and not return to center. It does this in either direction.
