Mine does. But if you take your hands off the wheel the car is smooth.

Re: GT steering wheel
indeed, it is smooth when hands are off, and smooth when depressing the accelerator pedal... must be the good old tractor engine tucked away under the bonnet!

Re: GT steering wheel
Obviously I don't drive a GT but the wheel in my 147 with the same engine vibrates a lot at idle - very annoying

Re: GT steering wheel
i recently test drove a GT JTD.

it was less than a year old and did this - dealer stated it was normal (as they would - but seems true in this case)
