13. A steering apparatus which is mounted on a vehicle and which is configured to steer wheels in accordance with a manipulation of a steering wheel by a driver,
the steering apparatus comprising a controller, the controller is configured to calculate steering power, which is a manipulated amount of the steering wheel per unit time, on the basis of steering wheel torque which is added to the steering wheel and a steering wheel velocity of the steering wheel; - and
the controller is configured to control a steering reaction force to be added to the steering wheel, the controller reduces the steering reaction force in cases where the calculated steering power is large, in comparison with cases where the calculated steering power is small.
