Anyone Else Hate The Yaris Steering Wheel? - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have racing seats and sit on the floor practically, I've been looking into customizing the wheel column to have it a tad lower. . .Or I need to grow arangatang arms >.<

It could be my 5' 8'' dimensions are closer to the average Japanese driver than the average American driver 'cause the interior of most toys, especially the Yaris fit me great.

I sit correctly in the seat and use two hands on the wheel. I have no complaints about the wheel but whish it was telescoping as I am 6'2 and I have to set the seat a little more back then I'd like to.

lolz i hear you.. try to drive a go cart..

I agree that it's too far away at the top. It wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't a spoke at the six o' clock position.

the 6 oclock spoke is by far the worst thing about the steering wheel everything else i can deal with but the fact is its so uncomfortable to one hand while riding on a gangster lean or riding dirty if you will. i only find the need to drive like that on certain occasions i drive normal most of the time haha

Im 6'2" and the steering wheel is to low in its higest position the cruise controll hits my knee when i turn lol. Oh well though still love the car

The only thing I don't like about the steering wheel is that it is not leather wrapped. OTOH, I couldn't see paying for the Sport Package just for the leather wrapped steering wheel...

Do what I did.....buy a gently used leather steering wheel and swap out the plastic one! Best $100 I've spent so far.

whiteyaris · 01-21-2011, 10:52 AM

same here, so bothered. maybe it's just the steering wheel angle.

Trubin · 01-23-2011, 05:51 PM

I have long legs so i put the seat all the way back, I just wish i could pull the wheel closer towards me as well.

The wheel itself....yes. Swaped for a Scion leather one a long while back.
