Steering Characteristics

I have had my CS for 2 weeks now and REALLY enjoy the handling and driving experience (and this car is replacing an M3 and a Corvette before that).
The question I have: I noticed that when the steering wheel is turned full tilt that the wheel will happily stay in the full position rather than returning to a more neutral center position. In other words you can drive in circles with no hands (not that I would do that... very often at least).
I hadn't experienced this on any car before, so I asked several "gear-head" friends that I work with and was informed that some cars do behave that way. Is this normal for the Cayman or is something out of adjustment?

I've just passed 5k miles & everything feels much better. Give it a chance to wear-in.

Smile OK

Thanks for the replies. I don't see it as any issue now that I hear it's a normal handling characteristic.
Regards

The described behavior is even more apparent on the Volvo XC70. Rented on on vacation, surprised the bejesus out of me in a parking lot.
