I dislike that they price them at 3-5 times the price of any other steering wheel on earth!

I also dislike that you lose the heated function.

on the '11's is a $615 option and it is heated. I think that's a damn good deal. It was one of the things i was on the fence about...decided not to get it, as its a suv, thought it would look out of place.

In south Florida it gets very hot if you park in the sun,and spots in the shade can be hard to come by
Unless you have a steering wheel cover for everytime you park...
Just my 2c concerning carbon or wood steering wheels

good call. I also feel like the grip on them isn't as good since they have a glossy finish. There's nothing like leather or alcantara when it comes to good grip!

I like mine a lot - never been slippery (and we are just coming out of summer here down under). I like the feel and look so don't regret it.
cheers
