Lexus Steering Weight

I have a 2016 GS and NX, both non-F Sport. The NX is far stiffer than the GS but the GS has a more buttery smooth feel. The weight and feedback improved on the GS after switching to Michelin PS4S tires.
Prior, my wife had an ES from 2007 and that could be steered with a finger. There wasn't a hint of sport in that car and that's what I loved most about it.

Funny enough, I am trying to replace a Macan with another Lexus. That’s why trying not to lose much in the steering department is important.
Make sure you check out the Mustang’s steering- very impressive. I have wanted to try a Camaro when on vacation but my wife never packs light enough for our luggage to fit in that trunk!

Curious, why dump the Macan? Just need something new?

Well that’s true in terms of performance and steering but there are other aspects of the Lexus products I prefer.
I went into the Mustang with low expectations, so that might have helped, but I was very impressed. Most comparisons are to the Camaro, which I’ve never driven.
I’ve had the Macan for almost 3 years and the new versions are pretty much the same car so I see no reason to upgrade. I get bored with cars pretty quickly and like to experience new ones, but I may just keep my Macan and see how life is without a car payment.
