“Horn is designed poorly which has caused several close calls because I was unable to honk my horn at a crucial time. Instead of being able to press the center of the steering wheel to honk the horn, there are two small buttons at the 9 and 3 position that appear to be positioned to press with your thumb- if your hands are at the 9 & 3 position. In an emergent situation, the first inclination is to hit the middle of the steering wheel to activate the horn, not to search for either of the two little horn buttons. …”
