What is everyone's take on the "D" racing inspired steering wheel? All the new performance cars seem to come with them and it doesn't take much to get used to it. I personally find the flat bottom nice when making sharp turns. However, some think it is pointless and a fad. It looks like Euroboutique makes really nice D steering wheels for the S. Thoughts?
I drove all kinds of cars all over Europe and that style steering wheel was on the majority. I doubt it's a fad unless all of Europe changes their mind at the same time (totally doubtful). I like it, you have more room to get into the car and you don't notice it at all when you drive.
I do have the AMG D wheel in my E550.
It does make sliding in and out easier.
Otherwise it is unremarkable when using the car.
To be honest I had to go double check to make sure it wasn't a figment of my imagination.
Flat bottom usually for leg clearance for taller ppl like me and easier to heal toe. Flat top/ cut top is usually so u can see ur rpm screen. It's a pain to correct your mistakes when spin out because square is not natural to spin in a circle lol.
