2013 electronic steering question

My new GT has, obviously, the new electronic steering. Apparently, there are three modes, sport, comfort, and standard. While driving, if I change from one mode to the other, I feel very little or no difference. Can anyone make me smarter on this? Should there be a very noticeable difference between the three modes?

Just started playing with that yesterday. The sport seems a little stiffer than comfort but I gotta do some more testing.

It would be most noticeable while stationary. Lots more load on the tires while turning.

Sport is noticeably stiffer than Normal. Comfort is like driving a Grand Marquis.

Have the car running in P or neutral and try, here are the differences

Standard, normal hydraulic supply, neither stuff nor light steering
Sport: lesser hydraulic supply than standard giving stiffer steering(feels like front tires has flat)
Comfort: more hydraulic supply than standard for lighter steering

Before u turn the wheel on each mode, give it a second for the computer to get into that mode, don't turn it as soon as u see mode change

Electric steering has hydraulics? I leave mine on sport.

try it on a stop light, comfort is easy, standard is medium and sport is harder, sport would be better for a track so you can feet the steer much better, if you use a comfort on track then it will be harder to feel your steer and adjust

You should believe the last two sentence below all of that red and black that you're so worried about.
