Turn off LKAS it is constantly correcting the car within the lane and then you feel yourself correcting the correction. At least, that's been my experience.
It might also be the sensation of having variable ratio steering, where larger inputs are required to make small corrections around center. I don’t think this would be as prominent with grippy tires, vs. energy savers, since you’d have more sensation of weight on-center to keep you from making unnecessary corrections.Touring model. The steering seems "loose". I am often jiggling the wheel back and forth when driving on a smooth highway. My GF once asked me if I was having trouble staying in the lane. To my surprise, I realized that I was! My old Acura TSX was absolutely tight and a new Civic seemed much tighter in a test drive.
Anyone else having this experience?
That's not at all what I have experienced. You might want to get it checked out. I've been very impressed with the steering on mine.Touring model. The steering seems "loose".

Take a look at pages 509 through 516 of the ManualLKAS is only on if the button labeled "Main" is engaged, correct? (Main enables cruise control system).
When Main is off, I do not see LKAS on my instrument panel. Still feel the steering is sloppy. But previous comments may be the explanation: (1) steering ratio for small movements and (2) different kind of tires.
I don't know if your definition of sloppy differs from mine or what, but the steering on mine is rock solid. If you can't narrow it down to Lane Departure Warning or something like that, I'd definitely get it checked out because it doesn't jibe with my experience with my Touring.LKAS is only on if the button labeled "Main" is engaged, correct?

. Even that is something I've never noticed. Without having tried am Acura, I've no basis for comparison so I'll take your word for it.I REALLY need to clarify what I mean by "sloppy steering".
I find myself often twitching the wheel a small amount left and right. Small amount = less than 1/4". This might not seem like much, but I know I never did that with my recent Acura TSX. I also don't feel like I can drive even a short distance using just my leg for steering (you know, when you're trying to change podcast on your phone). Yes, I know I shouldn't do that, but I never felt uncomfortable doing it in my TSX.
Maybe you need a wheel alignment?Touring model. The steering seems "loose". I am often jiggling the wheel back and forth when driving on a smooth highway.
