The seller says it is made by Citizen which makes really good and really expansive watches. However if you look up Citizen watches you will find out that they do not make these and that the seller is simply using their name. Personally I would avoid at all cost.

Leather 2010/2011 steering wheel FEELS good and LOOKS good.
The Plastic one FEELS decent* and LOOKS amazing.

But its all opinion based honestly... just pump the brakes a lil.

One note, are all 2012 SWs leather? The one I drove in was... but this was top end model. Its not a terrible steering wheel, its just funky looking, to me Cheers, and again no dis

Thank you!

I respect your opinion because you have experienced both. As long as you have experienced both you can talk all the trash you want on either wheel...but uneducated bashing drives me crazy.

As someone mentioned, its probably alot easier to save money on a steering wheel from a different vehicle, than continue creating Camaro specific steering wheels. IMHO I suppose. No disrespect. I am just almost certain it is the exact same steering wheel in the Cruze. It felt better, but thats because it was leather methinks... That hard plastic one I have feels a little coarse. my wives Altima has a leather wrapped steering wheel... Feels nice. I have to ASSUME that the hate started from a few and alot of people just went with it. I was one of them, honestly, but after driving with both I can say neither feels more awkward to turn than the other. (A complaint I believe I read in a dif thread) Cheers.

Check the shipping cost. They both are actually the same amount.

I bought one on Ebay myself but it NEVER showed up ! Filed with Paypal to get my money back !
I kept emailing the seller for 3 months with replies like ...order is processed , then shipped etc. took so long that after 30 days you can't leave feedback on Ebay !
So good luck and hope yours arrives.

Sir Nuke · 04-30-2012, 11:07 AM

personally, I would run away......for two reasons, ONE is the sellers feedback rating....only 86% positive feedback......and TWO. look at the discription.....he states its a SQUARE WATCH.....if doesn't know the difference between square and round....walk off laughing!

No, the seller says the watch movement is made by Citizen.
