RRS Steering wheel - does it go back to the center?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I've not owned my RRS for very long and just wanted to check this was the same with all of them. With my previous cars, when you turn out of a junction, accelerate away and loosen your grip on the steering wheel, the steering wheel slides through your hands and goes back to the centre position (ie with the front wheels pointing forwards). Not how the instructor taught me to drive for my driving test, I know!!!

However, with my RRS, it doesn't do this fully and I have to steer back to the center, like how I was taught to do for your my driving test. I thought this may be the case with all 4x4s but drove a Disco 3 the other day and it did what my previous cars did and the steering wheel slid through my hands. However the disco had 18" wheels whilst my RRS has 20" wheels. Is it normal that my RRS needs a little help feeding the steering wheel to back to the center position?
