My 2011 Civic has treated me very well and has been as dependable as any Honda should be. It's survived numerous road trips and has 50,000 miles on it now, over half of which are highway miles.

There's just one little thing--all those road trips have led to the steering wheel deteriorating from me gripping it for hours upon end!! I think it's time for a steering wheel cover, but I want something good.

Any recommendations?

 

Honda used to carry a premium leather wrap that you stitched onto the wheel. I had one on my 97 sedan. It was the genuine article and definitely made the car nicer to drive.

Check around, they might still have them.

 

The wear is most likely from bus - driving the wheel while parking or turning. Check honda's accessory section on bernardiparts.com or similar site.
