This guy needs an award..

And my sentiments Is about the same its a steering wheel. I never really care how it looks if It feel nice it steers doesn't get In the way has an airbag then good. Somethings just seem to trivial and a waste of time to even begin the thought process.

Agreed. Perforated leather, red stitching, and clean circular styling. No B.S. I don't want a steering wheel with some huge faux elitist badge and swoopy vagina-inspired styling to make myself feel better.

It is simple and I like it that way. I'm glad they didn't go for the Formula 1 style steering wheel with all the buttons. I don't want to drive a cell phone. I want to feel like I'm in control and not controlling me with all the stupid buttons.

anyone else glad they didn't go flat bottom like in those current Scion and some other econ and Sports car that are out now?

Looks... somewhat like a flat tire.

I've never driven a car with a flat bottom wheel, but based off looks I think the GTI steering wheel looks great

Agreed. Every car I've driven has had round steering wheels and I am particularly fond of the 3-spoke wheel.

well the Gti isn't totally flat across the bottom like the Scion, That's not so bad I drove the New Gti around before it's alright. I guess most of the time you don't even notice it.

Lol Hey be nice that's their Heritage, there's always been a Plad seat in every GTI , I don't get the germans either but they like that. Bet they think the 86 emblems are stupid and that it needs Plad seats too LOL Im just playing around ofcourse.
