Volvobrick Supersonic March 12, 2018 Share March 12, 2018 I thought only Italians like to have steering wheel offset cos they are not German-precise! I am sure teh Germans still practice precision engineering. I am sure all the Golfs have steering wheels offset by precisely 2.687cm. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptronic Supercharged March 12, 2018 Share March 12, 2018 If that is the argument, MIC ones will have 1m offset! Oh the offset is also on the left hand drive cars. What the hell happened to "German precision". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass 6th Gear March 12, 2018 Share March 12, 2018 Get a Japanese Car... One other problem is that not only this issue is a pain in the ass,the need to open the passenger door to pull the tab for the bonnet is also a pain in the ass. That is why we didn't get the FF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ct3833 Supersonic March 12, 2018 Share March 12, 2018 hope this is convincing. https://www.quora.com/Why-do-many-cars-have-the-steering-wheel-off-center-compared-to-the-drivers-seat-and-tilted-away-slightly-on-the-door-side ........ To turn a wheel, you need elbow room. If engineers design a large arm rest on the door, then there needs to be enough space to allow drivers to comfortably turn the wheel with their left arm. Moving the seat further inward negates the point of the arm rest, so instead they slightly offset the steering wheel. ...... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic March 12, 2018 Share March 12, 2018 Just make a smaller steering wheel. I find this size just nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WangWang888 5th Gear March 12, 2018 Share March 12, 2018 Sometimes when one hand is stronger than the other, the wheel will go off center abit My both hands are strong cos need both hands to hold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvobrick Supersonic March 12, 2018 Share March 12, 2018 (edited) Just make a smaller steering wheel. I find this size just nice. Some engineers can only think of one and only one solution.... That's why the offset position. Just like some ministar's brilliant solution to buffet syndrome is to make the patient pay 5 percent, instead of taking away the buffet dishes. 95 percent discount for buffet I still whack!

Because they made the armrest too big they move the steering wheel? Whahaha...... I like to know what these Germans are smoking. And the funny thing is ppl will believe anything they read. Yo Germans, if you are reading this my manhood and balls are larger dan average, can you move the brake pedal and gas pedal wider apart? I want to do left leg braking.

Brass 6th Gear November 28, 2020 Share November 28, 2020 Speaking of which, I discovered that my car's steering wheel is also off centre...the finger being where my dick supposedly is on the seat. Why is this so? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic November 29, 2020 Share November 29, 2020 Anyone don't like offset cannot fly F16. The joystick offset to the right. The joystick not between his legs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes more sense than joystick in the middle - think of sudden stop and the body moveing forward towards the joystick. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
