my quick assessment half a day later: works exactly like a steering wheel should! Car is infinitely more controllable and I'm now realizing just how tentatively I've been driving the car because of my lack of confidence in really pushing it around turns with the Yoke. No blockage of the dash from my seating settings and all of the buttons are working so far, as is the heating element. The slightly narrower width of the bottom portion of the steering wheel also means my legs don't brush it at all entering the vehicle, which was not the case with the Yoke. In fact, with only about 6k miles on the car to date, my Yoke was already showing signs of wear on the bottom left corner. T
Two negatives, both minor annoyances more than anything. The worm is even more pronounced on the new steering wheel than it was on my Yoke. Wife's comment was "why does your new steering wheel have a penis vein?" And I have a magnetic mount attached to the left of the main display for my cell phone for Waze use. The new wheel significantly impedes the view of the phone there and I'll now have to look at relocating it to the top of the display (horizontally) or place a pad down on the charging bay when I don't need the phone to charge. Is that a thing, by the way? Any harm on a modern day phone (iPhone 14 Pro Max) fully charged sitting on a charger?
Wheel just barely extends in front of the bottom left corner of the display. From my seating settings, it would not impede visibility of the display. Just getting out of my garage this am and turning onto our street and then maneuvering out of our neighborhood which involves a couple of traffic circles and then a right turn onto the main thoroughfare and accelerating briskly as I made the turn was a 100% improvement over the Yoke. I am currently exploring ways to mount that thing in my garage above a sign that says "designed for people who don't like driving."
