It’s just like that. Since you can’t really lean into a corner, like you would without a side car, you have to pull on the bars. The force needed and the feeling, especially when driving a tight turn at slow speed, is similar to driving a Go Kart. You have a direct connection to the front wheel, no gears or anything between you and the rubber.

Then there is the whole topic about asymmetry. When accelerating the side car will delay so everything will tend to steer to the right. Same thing when decelerating, or even letting off the throttle, except it will go to the left. The brakes are another topic about asymmetry. Which wheel is attached to which brake lever? There really is not an objectively correct way.
