The 9 and 3 position on the sedan is a bit awkward if you have large hands like me. The spokes are at the 3:30 and 8:30 position for some reason. Also, why they went with two spokes instead of three is beyond me. Anyhow, it's no biggie...just gotta adjust and get used to it.

I do quite like the thickness and small diameter (radius, circumference, whatever you want to call it) of the steering wheel.

BoneStock, for turning, try using a very light grip with the fingers and use more pressure with your palms, pushing into the turn rather than pulling into the turn (i.e. if you're turning right, push the wheel with your left hand). And what do you mean that the turns aren't smooth coming back? Maybe there's something wrong with your power steering? You might just need more time behind the wheel of your Civic so can adjust to how your car handles.
