Even when we look at smaller vehicles, such as the VW Beetle/Käfer, it had a bigger steering wheel than most newer vehicles, which by the way are often bigger than a Beetle.
Indeed, however to get back to depowering the steering rack of what is most likely an economy vehicle, I would argue it's safe to say that no unusual amount of strength is required here.
Either that or I'm somehow surprisingly strong, especialy given the fact most people in this forum will have quite a bit of height and weight on me.
