I'm not a fan of the current Subaru steering wheels. They are too plasticy and have odd shapes.

The Lexus CT200h on the other hand, has a FANTASTIC steering wheel:



In either case, I don't really care what the wheel looks like, I only care about how it feels.

Good ole' Subaru. All gauges are in red and yet the backlight display of the radio is green. Some things never change. Ahh the memories of my STi and how much I was annoyed at the little things.


I love the steering wheel, just as long as it is thicker than the current STi.

Well I actually like the steering wheel. Obviously it would be nice if it had an STi emblem on it, but oh well.

Anyways if you want a nice upgrade and is smaller than the stock 08+ STI in a D-Shaped Steering wheel. You should check out the Prova D-Shaped Steering Wheel.

Here are a couple pictures:

I voted no just because I want the 86 emblem on it. But the general aesthetics itself.. I like.

it looks fine with the 86 logo and a bit weird with Subaru and Scion badges (too big).

otherwise it's fine. factory 365mm steering wheel is great!!!

I didn't read any of this because I am lazy, lets just end the conversation with this. Best wheel = GTI. I know a lot of people on here don't want to admit that a German car has the best of anything but the best wheel is the GTI.

Here are a couple pictures:

I've driven with a Momo D shape wheel on a 92 Integra before and it was a pain for me... Never grew on me... Made parallel parking a PITA seriously...

I can't just use my palm to do the full 900° if I had to, you require yourself to lift off and break in the middle of the rotations...

I'd still prefer round...

A big yes for me. A nice round steering wheel, no frills, no clutter. I'm glad they didn't go for something like the Tc's steering wheel, it's like they half assed it. It's not fully round, but not a full flat bottom either.

I really like the Audi flat bottoms though...

I like it. Plain and simple. If Subaru got the rest of the car right, I will assume they did this as well.
