I just don't like it; it's not sporty. Expecially after looking at some pictures of the beautiful MOMO 3-spoke wheel in my old Legacy GT (yes, that one could have been thicker, but it was beautiful to look at).

Has anyone tried to wrap the chrome/aluminum portion with leather or otherwise black it out? That may help create the appearence of a more proper 3-spoke.

Even the old R steering wheel in my XC90 RD looks more sporty than the S60 wheel.

i love mine !

I have no problems with the way my RD steering wheel looks or feels. Coming from an S60R, this one feels much better in grip (thicker).

i have a nice steering wheel from an old car i was thinking of putting in to my R, but i have a feeling my wife would kill me for not having an airbag

It is MUCH improved over the old gen S60 steering wheel (non R varients). Much thicker and more engaging. I for one love the chrome accents, perhaps because they offset the grey exterior and black interior well.

+1 I actually have no problem with even the regular steering wheel in my fiancee's 2013 T5 AWD.

I've seen a few folks that have retrofitted the new steering wheel into the last generation S60s and an XC90. I definitely prefer mine over the older version in the V50.

I actually love my RD wheel. I can't say the same for the shift knob which I do find to be a tad boring. I'm dying to get that one replaced with a sportier one.

Yes; I saw that one. I was also considering a Momo knob like the one Arith had posted.

I have a Momo Shadow available if anyone is interested...

One of the best steering wheels I've ever used. Feels perfect and looks very fine to my eyes.

I inquired about the heico steering wheel... it's like $2000! Maybe one day but I love the steering wheel especially the aluminum insert.

You can get a matte black insert if you don't like the aluminum one.

Would think the tradeoff in losing the cruise control and radio buttons would not make swapping the wheel worth it

I think the wheel is great in these cars - much better than my '05 R.

The heico wheel has all the buttons as the stock steering wheel.

My big problem with the steering wheel is that when I have to drive my Honda Odyssey, with its skinny steering wheel, I have withdrawal symptoms . I like the S60 steering wheel, very comfortable on long trips (well, I only did a 300 mile trip so far).
