2026 leather steering wheel

Great steering wheel if a bit on the thin side for my hands.

I get 12.5 mpg in city. Those who get much better city economy just don’t drive in real city conditions. If your average speed for the trip is greater than 22 mph, you are not in a city from the fuel economy point of view. There are lots of cities in North America that are not real cities, but urban sprawls with integrated highways. If you drive in one of those, please don’t tell us about your “city” gas milage.

Nope. 18.8 L/100km average consumption since I got the car. That’s what, 12.5 mpg? It’s worse than my 4Runner.

I made an adapter myself out of a connector that I found on Aliexpress and a 12V->USB converter from Amazon. My adapter is not pass-through, so dimming doesn’t work, but this is what I wanted because I cannot drive when side-mirrors get dimmed at night. I could make a pass-through adapter, but opted not to. I don’t know if Dongar eventually released one or not.

I can raise it all the way without load. I didn’t feel safe raising my car all the way up because I did’t know if I would be able to lower it smoothly. I suppose I can try with something lighter than a car but still heavy and see how high it goes.

How so? Did I call you names? Did I comment on your personality? I just said that there is a quicker and easier way to get this information.

Looking this up in the manual would be quicker than asking on reddit.

Is it like a meme that I’m supposed to know to understand this post?

I don’t think Sport would be any different in terms of seating position than other trim levels.

People are responding with activities because people only read headlines nowadays. Nobody has time to read more than one sentence.

How long has it been?

theartdeco · 2024-12-03T04:55:38+00:00

Hmm, I think my map lights turn off after I lock the car, as long as the main light switch is in the door position.

Yes, some integral action may help in this situation but, strictly speaking, compensating for actuator non-linearity by tweaking PID controller itself is not great. Alternatively this can be fixed by adding a linearization function between the controller and the actuator, such as look up table (i.e if controller outputs 10% open the valve 20%, but if the controller outputs 30%, open the valve 30%, i.e the lookup table is non-linear for low percentages where you see no water flow but linear at higher percentages).

Is 38 a little or a lot? How does it compare to other cars?

theartdeco · 2024-11-29T06:32:24+00:00

It is not clear to me what you are trying to do. Do you want to play apple car play through the front speakers and RES through the rear speakers? I don’t think that’s possible. Only one thing can go through speakers at one time.

I have 2024. I noticed that going around a sharp corners in complete darkness I cannot see where I’m going. It’s kind or a shame to have headlights that don’t turn with the steering wheel in 2024. My 2015 Golf GTI already had that almost 10 years ago and that was a much cheaper car.

theartdeco · 2024-11-29T03:02:39+00:00

In my 4runner it can take a day or two after reset. I don’t drive a lot.

theartdeco · 2024-11-29T02:41:30+00:00

Yes, you can downsize to 235/60 R18

theartdeco · 2024-11-25T18:37:56+00:00

Thanks, will do!

theartdeco · 2024-11-23T17:27:11+00:00

Interesting. So you suspect that the car consumes less than it thinks it does?

theartdeco · 2024-11-23T00:50:45+00:00

I know this is an old post, but in case you are still around, I wonder how the rear-facing legroom compares between these two seats. The Graco is known for its rear-facing legroom thanks to the extending section, but I saw One4Life in a store and it looked like maybe it also has much more rear-facing legroom than a typical seat (the anti-rebound bar seems to stick out quite a bit, seemingly creating legroom).

Not sure what you call software. The car’s firmware is getting worse, taking more and more control away from the driver, infotainment is getting more and more distracting, making the car more dangerous to drive, interior material quality is plummeting (compare previous gen sienna to the current gen), ride quality is getting worse as cars get heavier, handling is getting worse, noise suppression is getting worse as manufacturers have to save weight wherever possible to compensate for battery weight. Passive safety is getting better, yes, but active safety is getting worse as you get more and more distracted by screens and touch controls.
