I found the text below on Wikipedia about electric power steering. It says that for VW & Audi's the assistance is automatically regulated depending on vehicle speed. Just wondered if this is the same for Skoda's?

Electric Power Steering, such as those found on the Acura NSX, the Saturn VUE V6, and on most FIAT and Lancia cars, uses electric components. Sensors detect the motion and torque of the steering column and a computer module applies assistive power via an electric motor. This allows varying amounts of assistance to be applied depending on driving conditions. Most notably on FIAT group cars the amount of assistance can be regulated using a button named "CITY" that switch between two different assist curves (boost curve), while on Volkswagen/Audi group cars, the amount of assistance is automatically regulated depending on vehicle speed.

I believe quite a few cars these days have "speed sensitive" power steering which automatically adjusts due to road speed.
