Exactly! WRC, WTCC or real track enthusiasts’ road cars (911, BMW M, etc.) have proper round steering wheels. Poser sports cars have flattened steering wheels (anything VAG, to begin with).

With your screen name, I gather we also share we have more than one point in common (BRZ driver here). Cheers!

Yeah, that doesn’t make the car undrivable. It’s just worsening the experience for the sake of looking cool. I mean, look at WRC cars, WTCC cars, etc; even they have round, functional steering wheels because there steering racks demands it.

But it makes turning ridiculous?

Non-circular steering wheels. D-shaped steering wheels belong in race cars with 180° lock-to-lock racks. Not in a fucking Diesel A3. Not even in a goddam R8; if my hands needs to move around the wheel at any point while I drive, it needs to be round dammit. I don’t care how cool it looks.

Wow that’s nuts! Even here in France they stand out in traffic, though.

I actually kinda like it. I mean, compared to a Renault Scenic or some other European mini van it’s competing against.

Or for a more modern interpretation.

It was a little under 400 euros for 3 passengers. Worth every penny.

Man, my lap with Sabine was already 10 years ago. Time drifts...

You, Sir, shall stop this nonsense at once.

I suggest you look for a nice used 996 GT3 RS. They reach notrh of 250k euros here. Rudonculous.

I don’t see any dirt on the paint?

The food stunt babe? I hear it’s bitchin’.

I think you and I need to talk.

Same in the Tesla Model S.

Surely someone in Maranello has a patent on that. It screams Manettino.

I can only recommend you to (properly) drive an MK2 Miata. Only 146hp with an LSD, you’ll know what it’s about.

Sounds like you’ve never driven a RWD car with an LSD.
