No, I think it's average....however I do wish that the tilt wheel tilted down more like my 91SE did...

i agree

the streeing wheel is huge...but you can reduce that feeling by putting a good leather steering wheel cover on it. it should make the steering wheel feel a little thicker, and therefore more proportioned. (compared to the skinny stick-like wheel haha)

i think it's acceptable. of course it would be better if it's a little smaller. and i wish it's a telescope tilting wheel. 'coz my leg's r pretty long, and i need to keep my arms straight out in order to touch the steering wheel. sometimes, my arms feel tired when i have a long trip.

The wheel is average size, all wheels are within like .5 inches of each other, it's just the diameter on the actual grippy part that throws you off, I have an SE with the thick wheel and it seems perfect.

Compared with newer cars, the Maxima's steering wheel is big. But compared with cars in its time, the Maxima's steering wheel is average sized. I do wish it were thicker though.

I compared the steering wheels among my 96 Max, 94 Altima and 2000 RX300. I like Altima's steering wheel the best. It is a little smaller and thicker. But the better thing to me is its texture, which I never found slippery on my hands. RX300's leather covered wheel is slightly better than Max's in terms of grip, and it is smaller.
