Power steering problem with honda city

I have late 2006 honda city, its steering wheel efficiency is not like other city cars, honda company does not agree with me and their engineers give the theory that its electronic steering and its efficiency increses with the speed of the engine, can any one tell me what to do with this, sometime i have to pull my steering back to zero after the turn.

Power Steering:
Check the power steering fluid level and pump belt tension .
Start the engine, let it idle, and turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times to warm up the fluid.
Attach a commercially available spring scale to the steering wheel. With the engine idling and the vehicle on a clean, dry floor, pull the scale as shown and read it as soon as the tyres begin to turn.
If the scale reads no more than 29 N (3.0 kgf, 6.6 lbf) the gearbox and pump are OK.
If the scale reads more than 29 N (3.0 kgf, 6.6 lbf), check the gearbox and pump.
