So what about that steering wheel rubbing the knee issue? Well, it's still there, but I tried doing something a little different when getting on the brakes and coming to a stop: as opposed to just moving my foot over to the brake I took the extra step of moving my whole left leg and sliding it under the steering wheel to eliminate cramping up in my thigh when at a stop. Of course this is extra work, but hell, a car this fun to drive it's totally worth it. This isn't to say Toyota/Subaru shouldn't revise the steering collum adjustment (they definitely should), but it's doable though not entirely comfortable as would be the case in stop and go traffic. O well. No car is without it's compromises.
I knew the door wasn't gonna hit you on the way out! So when are you picking one up?
