First off, this thing *looks* like it means business. The bright yellow color isn’t just for show—it screams 'move along, thieves' even in a dark parking lot. I’ve caught multiple sketchy characters eyeing my car, then abruptly walking away when they spotted this lock. Instant peace of mind.

The dual-bar design isn’t just marketing fluff. It clamps onto my steering wheel like a vice, and the automatic locking feature is genius—no fumbling for keys when you’re rushing. Though fair warning: the first time I used it, I nearly pinched my fingers adjusting the telescopic bar. Lesson learned!

Is it foolproof? No. But for the price, it’s a *fantastic* deterrent. After my neighbor’s Kia got stolen (twice!), I appreciate how this forces thieves to either make a scene with power tools or find an easier target. Bonus: the plastic coating hasn’t scratched my steering wheel, and it tucks neatly under the seat when not in use.

Minor gripes? It’s heavier than expected (good for security, bad for my gym-avoidant arms), and the keys can be stubborn—test all three before locking it permanently. But compared to flimsy pedal locks? Worth every ounce.
