Not true for all cars ... though I would've said the same thing 2 weeks ago, I know now it's not the case!

My 2002 Hyundai Elantra is one of them, learned it the hard way, EOCing on the highway (downhill), then when I got to the curve at the bottom I realized turning the wheel needed both of my hands! It's not super hard but it's FAR from being easy.

I had an Elantra from the previous generation and it didn't much force to turn the steering wheel at highway speed, so it's something that changed in the generation that I now have!
