Depends on where you drive. I live in SE PA. Roads here tend to be winding, even in the suburbs. Like "slow down to 20 mph so you don't slide off the road" winding. Never mind going into Philly with its weird intersections and tight turns.

Maybe 5% of your driving it's worse, it would be more like 70% of mine. I don't need to see the entire dashboard, I can get all the info I need just fine through the wheel, which adjusts. Also, cars with HUDs are a thing if you go for top level trims.

But when muscle memory matters, I want a wheel to grab. One double-take because the yoke isn't where my instincts expect could be one too many, it's like taking the shoulder-harness off your seat belt so that you look better while driving. Just serves no good purpose beyond vanity.
