I'd say I like the steering equally. My only gripe is grip! The steering wheel on the FR-S after 6 years and 58,000 km didn't feel as grippy as I'd like on the track last weekend. It looks fine but the leather is pretty sealed from hand sweat and gets slippery. I wonder if there is an acceptable wrap?


How about a pair of gloves? I know it sounds silly but I got a pair for simracing because my wheel is suede and was destroying my hands. I ended up using the gloves at autox too and it helps a lot on hot Florida days.
