Default Steering Handling newbie question.

I've noticed with the Xfire that the front wheels & steering really follow the road.

I've not had this with any other car and I don't know if this is a feature... I'm assuming it is.

All my other cars pretty much drive in a straight line on their own... even on reasonably bumpy city roads.

However, the Xfire pretty much goes where ever the worn ruts in the road are.

One road I travel a lot on basically has well worn semi aged asphalt and has grooves for lack of a better word. The xfire sticks to those grooves/paths/divots... whatever you want to call them. I have to constantly force the wheel to stay straight and the car on track.

My Xfire isn't a 'relaxed wrist hanging over the top of the steering wheel' kind of city driver. Highways and flat roads, yes...

Is this a sports car thing due to the tight suspension?
