Anybody not liking the steering wheel?
 
I do not like it much I would prefere some other steering wheel. My favorite is the one of the WRX STI, and I think I'll change it.

I agree with you on the looks, but I would wait to see how it feels before making any decisions about changing it, though.

probably feels great. I wont change it. Reminds of me a current mustang steering wheel.

I was hoping for something with a flat bottom, but I think this will suffice.

I'm not a fan of three spoke wheels, my truck has 4, I usually like to rest my hand on the bottom when I'm on a long straight... However, having felt both Subaru and Toyota leather wrapped wheels, so long as they're leather they're win...

I don't think this will bother anyone once they drive the car...

Because I've driven one of these and never thought ONCE about how it looks...

STI badged steering wheel is full of WIN. Hope BRZ gets one soon. :D

Three spoke, small diameter steering wheel with thumb contours. Cross stitched, leather wrapped... can't really ask for much more from OEM, I'm pretty happy with it. However, I come from C5 Vettes that probably have the WORST steering wheel since the K-cars, lol.

Aesthetics wise I like it. I kind of wish it had sound system controls on it, but I'm not overly disappointed that it doesn't.

:thumbup:

For me it'd be maybe nice to have at least one car with an airbag too :P

KAuss 12-01-2011 12:06 PM

You plan on crashing this one? LOL...

I agree with all of that :)

lol no buy every close call I have from the idiots that like to pull out in front of me (usually 90 year olds down for the winter) I always think "damnit I removed the airbags in this car too... why?" :)

The steering wheel is probably the best part of the interior. No buttons, no crap on it, it's meant to steer. I couldn't ask if anything else.
