Why is the steering wheel not centered left-to-right on the driver's seat? Is this normal? I find it a little strange, and a couple other people have commented on it.

Not uncommon in cars. I've been in more than a few that the steering wheel isn't centered on the driver's seat.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i237.photobucket.com-17475-1406477080.1.jpg) If you look under the dash you can see how far they cranked the steering column over. I assume because with such a short car and the proximity to the front wheels the steering rack had to be placed where it was. And they probably used an existing rack and had to work around that limitation too. |
