    Does 'The Club' work on the Prius steering wheel? Before I buy one, I thought I would ask because the steering wheel inside part looks a bit small.

    If not, is there another steering wheel lock I should consider?

    I wouldn't attempt it. Too much painted plastic parts on the wheel to scratch.

    Thanks. Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

    Is there some other wheel lock device that work work better on the Prius?

    The Club is useless. I had one of my cars stolen with the Club installed. All they need to do is snip the steering wheel at one point with a clipper-type tool and the locked Club slips right off.

    The Prius can't be hotwired like a conventional car so why do you want a wheel lock device? Moreover, the Prius isn't very frequently stolen. Your bigger concern would involve a break-in.

    If anything, Prii get broken into around here, but that's about it.
