Let me start by saying this: the Urban UR978Y isn't just a steering wheel lock - it's like having a personal security guard for your car. That bright yellow color? It's basically screaming 'DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT' to potential thieves before they even touch your vehicle.

The first thing I noticed was how surprisingly lightweight it is compared to other locks I've tried. Don't let that fool you though - the steel construction feels rock solid when locked in place. Installation takes literally seconds - just extend it across your steering wheel, click it shut, and turn the key. The included protective pads are a nice touch (though one user mentioned the adhesive failing - something to watch for).

Now let's talk about that alarm system. The 120dB siren is LOUD - we're talking 'make-your-ears-ring' loud if it goes off in your garage. What I love is the flexibility: you can use just the physical lock, or activate the motion-sensitive alarm for extra protection. The warning beep when someone jostles your car gives me serious peace of mind when parking in sketchy areas.

The emergency glass breaker is a brilliant addition too. It screws securely into the lock body so you'll always know where it is in an emergency. And those three keys? I keep one on my keyring, one at home, and gave one to my spouse - no more single-key anxiety.

After using this daily for weeks, my only minor complaint would be storage. While it fits in most door pockets (way better than those giant club-style locks), it does take up some space. But honestly? That's a tiny tradeoff for knowing my car is protected by what feels like Fort Knox on my steering wheel.

Final verdict? If you drive a theft-target vehicle (looking at you, Hyundai/Kia owners) or just want serious theft deterrence, this Urban lock delivers where others fall short. It's visible protection you can actually feel good about using every day.
