Such a pain to get out from home or to park it back. For my driving test, I learned to park using Power Steering and passed the test using Power Steering. Now I gotta learn how to park all over again and get laughed at for making lots of to and fro movements as compared to other drivers <del>(including ladies ones)<\/del> \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>But once the car is moving, the steering wheel is responsive and smooth like butter. No vibrations whatsoever. The height can also be adjusted which is a plus.<\/p>\n<h3>The Turn Signals<\/h3>\n<p>Since it&#8217;s a german car, It&#8217;s found on the left side of the steering wheel. Why can&#8217;t they put it on the right side? Cost issues? You are supposedly be selling &#8220;luxury&#8221; cars for premium a price but you can&#8217;t switch the signal levers for left-hand drive countries? I bet Japanese car do invert theirs.<\/p>\n<p>I accidentally switched on my windshield wipers few times when I was supposed to put my full bean or signal my actions.
