Not sure what I was expecting with Comfort Drive but was underwhelmed with operation. Essentially what I observed on the way home for Nappanee was a basic variable power steering device with a variable amount of wheel centering feature.
Now to be fair, I did not experience steady state cross winds. Mostly gusty conditions and varying direction.
Tested most all levels from 1 - 5. Found 3-4 most comfortable. At level one it was like a 50s Cadillac power steering (tendence to over drive vehicle) and at 5 more truck like, one with lots of caster (self centering).
Maybe expectations were way off. Maybe I have this option all wrong or conditions have not shown its potential.
So far I am not impressed....
