The Logitech Driving Force GT, By Mr. Jack Roots “Scezza” (England)
Okay, now as you might know Logitech is one of the leading manufacturers of computer hardware and steering wheels, and to be honest with you, they have made the best steering wheel I have ever used. I have heard that the Logitech G25 is very good but I couldn’t Imagen it to be much better than this.

The Logitech Driving Force GT provides a strong and realistic experience for all players. Personally after you have got used to the wheel you notice it becomes easier and lighter to use (If not just change the settings on the game).

The way the wheel turns is strong and firm, also I love the way the wheel adapts to different road surfaces and terrain. E.g. in Colin McRae: DIRT 2 the wheel is very shaky and aggressive due to the rough road conditions, like bumps and dips.

For the pedals, although they’re made from plastic, they are pretty lifelike and strong. You will notice the brake has more resistance than the accelerator and apart from there being no clutch the pedals do a very good job and work very well.

The pros of this product are:
- The force feedback
- Steering wheel size (11 inches)
- Button access
- Vibration
- Mounting access
- 900 degrees of wheel rotation
- Works well with The PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2
- Official Gran Turismo 5 product

The cons:
- Sequential gear change (No six speed)
- No clutch

Very good games to use with the Logitech Driving Force GT:
- Need For Speed Shift (PS3)
- Gran Turismo 5 Prorogue (PS3) (The Official Gran Turismo 5 still awaiting release date)
- Gran Turismo 4 (PS2)
- Race Driver GRID (PS3)
- Colin McRae: DIRT 2 (PS3)

Logitech Driving Force GT Steering Wheel (PS3), By PJW “GTP_Eriba” (West Midlands, UK)
First off I would like to commend Amazon for their great service; on receiving my Logitech DFGT wheel first you notice how well it’s made when removing it from the box and packaging. Next how easy it is to install, just plug and play, then the feel of the wheel in your hands, feels nice and sturdy all the buttons are just at your finger tips, plus you can program all these to your own requirements.

You switch on and the DFGT wheel will automatically turn from lock to lock twice by it’s powerful force feed back motors as it is recognised by your PS3, it’s now ready for action.

The DFGT wheel in use is nice and precise, you can follow a good line through bends and it goes not wonder on the straights, gear change can be done by ether stick or paddle buttons, which these small buttons could of have a better design at the rear of the steering wheel , but they do work well.

The peddle plate is made from plastic and is very light, but this dose not detract from how good they feel under your feet, it’s very easy to feather both brake and accelerator to control your speed, plus the carpet gripper does a great job at holding the peddle plate soundly in place.

All in all 10 out of 10 for a great product at this price.
