Steering wheel off centered from seat.

Noticed that the golf and leon have weird sitting positions. The steering wheel feels off centered. Can the drivers of these makes confirm. Of is it just me?

 

Also noticed that the leg room on the passenger side feels bigger then the driver's side. Weird.

 

Maybe it's because of my height? 179cm?

 

Any other makes have this issue?

Merc e class also like this

Surprising! I would have thought a bigger car would not have this issue. Lazy engineering?

 

Anyway E class above my grade. Just looking for a replacement for my focus.

A lot of German cars are designed for the driver to adapt to the car's design, not built around the driver. Been like for a long while.

Supersonic

Sometimes when one hand is stronger than the other, the wheel will go off center abit :grin:

That's exaggerating.

Mini R56 is essentially designed as LHD from ground up.

 

Bonnet is on the left rather than right.

 

But Steering wheel and seat is aligned.

It's for driver who have one arm longer than the other.

 

I like offset pedals as one of my leg is longer than the other 2.

 

:D

The camry wheel also looks slightly offset in that picture above. I've never noticed if my car had an offset steering wheel, but my pedals are offset to the right.

Oh the offset is also on the left hand drive cars. What the hell happened to "German precision".

 

i would like to think that it is purposely engineered this way...
