Potential problems with steering on 9-3 convertible?

Hi all
I am new here and I am looking to buy a used 2006-2008 convertible. Over the last few weeks I test drove a few cars.
On two cars I experienced the steering slightly moving right and left at low speed. Kind of sluggish below 30mph. Felt like not enough air in the tires.
One was a 2006 2.0T and the other one a 2007 2.0T. Both with about 60K miles on the clock. Both with tires in stock size.
Unfortunately I could not check the tire pressure and I wanted to check if there are any known issues with the steering. It did not feel like unbalanced tires since this sluggish feeling was gone at higher speeds with no vibrations.
I test drove a few others including a 2007 Aero and a 2008 2.0T which did not show these symptoms.
Otherwise I love that car. With my size of 6'4" the best convertible out there. I hope to find one soon. Unfortunately the market is pretty empty.
Thanks for any responses.
Stefan
