5 out of 5 stars Solid.   January 6, 2009
I've had this product for about six months now. This wheel is very solid and feels like a quality product. I had always played Gran Turismo without a wheel, but this definitely makes the game much more fantastic. I can feel the under-steer and the point right before over-steer is much more vivid. The motor also feels strong when turned to maximum feedback. I do wish the wheel diameter was a bit larger (sometimes the wheel on my real car does not feel right after hours of playing using a smaller diameter wheel) but it is easy to get used to. I highly recommend this product, especially now that the price has dropped to around $100.


5 out of 5 stars Logitech makes great wheels   January 2, 2009

This wheel represents a PS3 update to the Logitech Driving Force (Force Feedback) wheel.

A friend of mine has the Driving Force and I have the GT, and we did a few side by side comparisons the general consensus is as follows:

The GT is a larger wheel, but feels harder and more plastic like.
The Force Feedback is much stronger on the GT.
The PS button and the in game adjustment knobs are only on the GT - the button layout is also better on the GT.
The "older" Driving Force has a nice smooth feel, and force feedback is more subtle.

These wheels are a basic tie - I would NOT recommend going from the Driving Force to the GT if you already own one, but if you don't have any the GT has the edge if you're connecting it to a PS3 (based on it being outfitted for the PS3).

I would rate both wheels a 4.5

On a separate note: How and where to mount this wheel is something that should be considered prior to purchasing. Look at the customer photos to see how people such as me have created a work around for the mounting issues. FYI if you mount it to a standard height coffee table and sit on a sofa, chair, etc... the wheel would be too low for comfort - usable but far from ideal. The designated driving chairs are great, but they are expensive and they take up a lot of room (they don't fold away).

This Wheel is great. I was thinking about buying the G25 because I thought that it would be nicer. This thing feels almost exactly the same as the G25. I bought mine on here for $79, and compared to the G25's price of $252 this thing a must buy. It feels so realistic and the red dial is awesome, and for the price, I'd pick it over the G25.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent wheel   December 22, 2008

I bought this to go with the new PS3 and driving games like GT5, GRID and DIRT. I also own the Momo (PC) and Driving Force Pro (PS2-3) wheels.

The movement the wheel itself in thecontext of the games feels more precise than either the Momo or Pro. The pedals are similar to the other 2. My only wish for improvement is that it included paddle shifters like the Momo or G25 rather than the buttons embedded in and hidden on the back of the wheel itself. These particular buttons are not situated to be easily reached while gripping the wheel normally and they lack the positive motion and feel I have with the Momo paddles when switching thru the gears.



5 out of 5 stars Awesome!   December 18, 2008

I just picked this up a few nights ago- it really makes GT5 a whole new ball game! It's so much more fun than without the wheel...
