Mine works like yours, it'll jottle me a bit but if I want the car to go there it goes there, I don't need special efforts to make it happen. It also has the auto-brake thing in case you're about to rear end someone and I've set it to high to see it working but even that I only managed to make it beep and flash but not actually brake yet, looks like it would only do it pretty late. I think most people complaining about this are having an "back in my days" moment tbh, but maybe there are indeed cars out there where the implementation is more invasive.
I drove a Honda Pilot with lane assist, and I hated how it jottled the steering wheel. It felt dangerous to me how much it resisted, even if it's not really that much.
I currently drive a Honda Fit with lane assist, and I love it. Literally use the lane assist every time. It beeps and has a warning on the dash about leaving the lane, and maybe it even has the same amount of resistance, but it feels a lot safer/natural
I think I just don't like the steering wheel "rumbling/jottling" or whatever, because it's like a false tactile feedback. I'm sure I could adjust to it, but it's not the best implementation imo
Also, the auto-brake thing (is amazing and should be standard) doesn't come on until you are wildly close (and the distance that it engages, seems to be speed dependent). So you'll really only see it engage if you're about to be in a wreck, or you're really ballsy trying to "test it"
