Steering wheel? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

i dont know why everyone (testers) have gripes over the steering wheel.
it suits the car nice in terms of size, and doesnt feel too large or too "indented"...
it also didnt feel like it was 'protruding' into my hands...

opinons and pics?

Im going to go out and say the complaints for poor steering feel has a lot to do with the design of the steering wheel itself - too big of a diameter...too thick of a rim all kill steering feedback, also the weight of the airbag plays a significant part in robbing feedback. So yes the complaints are legit

Thanks for posting that. I'm a decent-size guy with fairly large hands, so I wasn't too worried about the steering wheel, but it seemed that was one complaint that almost all of the reviewers had in common, so I was a little concerned. Thanks!

I think it's pretty ugly.

I'm still buying the car, though.

...

my favourite thing about driving is the feel in the car through the steering and the steering feel is greatly exaggerated though a smaller wheel...
