Flat-bottom steering wheel... Is it optional?
Is there an option for a full standard steering wheel? For some reason I just don't see this being comfortable for regular driving/turns/turnarounds, etc. It seems like it'd be more geared for racing.

Takes minus one second to get used to and there is no adjusting to turn etc.

I'm looking forward to having this type of steering wheel as well. Something new to experience.

It is less motion to turn the wheel and a shorter distance for your hand to travel. We have them in all of our cars and would never have a car without one now. I just put this in my C7:

The only way a flat bottom on the steering wheel could result in "a shorter distance for your hand to travel" would be if you're holding the wheel by the flat part, thereby making your hand turn on a slightly small arc radius. This would be negligible at best. Am I missing something? Regardless, I'd love to have a flat bottom wheel!

And most of my turns where the wheel need to rotate I do from the bottom of the wheel. So think of it as holding the rim of the wheel is longer travel and a bit slower steering feel, grabbing the flat is less travel and faster turn in. Once you drive you its easy to understand. |

The point of a flat bottom wheel is for clearance above your legs/knees. Much more useful in a cramped racecar. Sports cars have them nowadays, well, because racecar.
