I kind of love it, mostly because it's totally ridiculous in a unique way. The steering wheel is unironically quite cool, though I suspect I use the spokes more than I realize.

Face can't hit the steering wheel if the steering wheel is just a big hole. Genius.

Gotta love how when they ran out of money they just sticked a kitchen knife into the shifter

Yeah, my car has controls on the steering wheel. It makes them super convenient. I wouldn't want to give that up, but that wheel does look really cool.
