My horn takes one or two hands to press. Wondering if this is normal. In my 2000 Jetta I could honk the horn with one thumb just on the side.

Not sure. Usually when I use my horn it's out of rage, so it's pressed with all my fury.

Default The actuation and sound of our horn is the pitts.

I'll be changing to air horns or something with more *****. I don't like how hard you have to push the button.

Default I drive with hands at 9am/3pm and rest the base of my thumbs on the edge of the horn...

takes very little effort when rolling my palms inward and I get to keep both hands on the wheel at the same time. Safest technique I know.
