However -- As I'm sure you are aware, as the car slows, the steering requires more input. This means that if you are in a corner and you are slowing down, you will need to correct your steering inputs.

BTW - I've never heard of a car's ride being described as "incredibly plump".
Thanks for the feedback. I hoped that would be the case and after getting used to it, it would be OK.

I need to get used to servotronic steering and performance control, driving an automatic, stop start, a much heavier car and a higher driving position. Could take a while!

Oh, and filling it up with diesel not petrol!
