Default Suggestion: Adjustable steering wheel - 03-19-2007 , 05:50 PM






The old Jags had a telescoping adjustment steering wheel. This is more
useful than the tilt steering wheel feature found on today's cars.

A telescoping wheel allows you to slide the driver's seat farther back
until the pedals are just in the right geomety, then you adust the wheel
for comfort and control.

Let's see this telescoping feature combined with tilt on American cars, GM,
Ford, and D-C.

My 2007 Fusion has a tilt/telescoping steering wheel. So did my 2004
Thunderbird (and it was power operated besides). Many other Fords have power
adjsutable pedals. These have essentally the same net benefit. Maybe you
should go look at a Ford.

I have it on my 07 Sonata. Nice feature with multiple drivers.

My 1978 Newport has it, and I wish our other vehicles did.

See the Camry.
If the Corolla has it I could drive that car as well.
