: Steering wheel too small

This is gonna sound kinda dumb but anyone else out there think the steering wheel in the Odyssey is too small, diameter wise? Honda prolly made it smaller cause let's face it, the majority of minivans are driven by women and they're smaller, but I find it too small. I hate a huge wheel but this is a big car, not a small sports car, and the wheel being small creates issues for me. Too quick steering response and too "sporty" for a minivan.

Funny thing is my Magnum has a wheel that's just too big creating a lumbering "truck" like feel to the steering. I know why it's bigger, because of the dash layout, any smaller and you wouldn't see all the gauges, but it does take away from the sporty feel of the car.

Just wondering if anyone felt the same?

Steering wheel seems the right size to me.

Well at least SOMEONE replied, lol! I was just tryin to start some conversation around here, thought this would help ... guess not, lol!

It's all personal opinion and I was just curious what others thought. Honda's have always been GREAT at ergonomics but I just think the steering wheel is a llittle small for my liking. Of course the wife thinks it's fine, lol!:D

maybe you can find a wheel from like a TL of some other honda/acura model that might possibly fit with a larger steering wheel...

Me too. Some time, I feel steering wheel is small compare with size of Van and look funny to me. I would suggess that it's perfect design if it should be little bit bigger but do not be huge like truck's.
