Yes, increasing tire pressure is a good suggestion.  Also, if you have
a brand new car, the tires are also brand new and will cause the
steering to feel light.  Give the tires some time to wear, and the
feel will improve.  The A4q has great steering feel.  The effort
is low, but the feel is all there.  It's actually real nice, once you
get used to it.  There is no torque steer, no bump steer, no kick back
of any sort, but it's not at all numb.
