I recently purchased a used Toyota RAV 4 that was in great condition. I drove it a couple times before I realized that the steering wheel was especially smooth, like smooth from years of use by the previous owner. I thought about it and then moved on to something more pressing.
Later that night, I don’t know what prompted me to look up “steering wheel cover” on Amazon because I have had maybe six cars in my life and I have never once thought about “enhancing” the steering wheel with a cover.
But I’m glad that I did that search for a steering wheel cover because I ended up buying this one here based on a few factors: the aesthetics of the wheel cover especially in the new black color, the product description that read like I was missing out on a better driving experience if I did not have this product, and rave reviews that reaffirmed that this steering wheel cover was awesome. I vacillated on this issue just because I had never upgraded my steering wheel cover, and I was wondering if it was really going to be that noticeable (it is!), so I bought it.
A day later the product arrived on my doorstep and I wasted no time opening the box. I will say that when I first saw and felt the steering cover, I was impressed with how it felt and I liked how it looked. I went straight out to my vehicle and very easily pulled the cover over my steering wheel. I will say that some people may have a little challenge with pulling the cover around the wheel, but I think most people shouldn’t have too much problem.
After the cover was on the steering wheel I grabbed on to it for a good squeeze. It felt good. But honestly my second thought was “wow, this cover has made my steering wheel much thicker and am I going to like it thicker?” I thought I would like it, but there is a female in my life that will be driving this SUV, and I thought that she might not like it because she has smaller hands than me. I’m 6’2” and have average sized hands for someone that height (I guess?). I think women need to know going in on this purchase that the wheel cover is going to increase the overall size of their steering wheel by a noticeable percentage (but fewer than 50% overall). Enough said on this topic.
Now that I have driven my SUV around a number of times, I could not be happier with my fancy new steering wheel cover. I love the feel of the material. At the very top center of the cover it is smooth, but as you move down the steering wheel you feel this interlaced fabric that is so nice and comfortable. My hands on at either at the recommended safety driving of the 10-2 position or at the casual 11-1 position on the steering wheel. With either of these positions, my hands are on the interlaced fabric and I really like it the feel.
My advice is give this steering wheel cover a try. You have a ton of colors from which to choose (new black color is great!) and you have a well designed cover that feels nice under your hands. I don’t even drive a lot and I love the upgrade, but if you drive a lot then you need to try this steering cover out. Do yourself a favor and see what you are missing.
I know when summer comings, when I’m easy to sweating a lot, this cover is going to absorb my perspiration and keep my hands pretty dry if the product description is right, and so far I have not found anything amiss about it.
Pick your color, consider that price is darn reasonable for a noticeable upgrade to your vehicle, remember you have not committed to anything long term yet, and, put a little faith in my experience and honest upfront review of this steering wheel cover, and prepare to experience your car a little differently...in a good way. Enjoy.
