I prefer heavier steering regardless. Love how weighted the Macan is even when pulling out of the garage.
Yes, it's much lighter and progressive at low speeds and tightens up as you build speed. It's not too light in my opinion and makes the Macan feel a bit more nimble. But if you like a very weighted feeling wheel at all speeds, the regular power steering will work better for you (a lot of the Macan guys code out the power steering plus (if it came as an option that they didn't choose), for exactly the reason you mentioned. For me, I don't like overly boosted feeling steering (I liked that feeling when the steering racks were hydraulic but not on an EPS rack).
