Great product. Would have given 5 stars except parts were missing. Customer support through Playseat was great. Sent missing parts in 2 days. Parts were not critical for use. Great fun for the whole family.

I am not a giant, nor am I going to have to buy two tickets to fly anywhere... I'm a 6' tall standard guy a little over 200 pounds. With that being said, this seat is a perfect fit for me... the additional pedal and steering wheel holders are NOT. I waited months to buy this seat, drooling over it for quite some time since I'm a car guy and I've owned several muscle cars like Shelby GT500's etc, but where I live the winters are LONG and I thought this would be an amazing escape from the boring bland days when you can't exactly take a 600 horsepower showroom condition car outside and the seat really came through in that regard. I just won't ever be able to find a "right" way to situation the steering wheel and the pedals so that I am not crammed up, trying to get through Gran Turismo like a T-Rex driving a baby Mazda Miata.

All in all, it's a quality piece that I don't "regret" whatsoever... if I had to make the purchase again, I suppose I would the "fun" factor is AMAZING, but... come on, charging ANOTHER $50 for a "gear shift holder" on top of the price of the seat, and all the assembly and zip-ties needed, not to mention the aforementioned T-Rex position I drive in, this seat is ALMOST A 4-STAR product, but I can't honestly bring myself to give it a full four.

PROS:

-It is just plain FUN (it truly enhances the feel of the game WITH surround sound, and Gran Turismo's settings up on the engine rev)

-it is built well

CONS:

-Far too limited on places I can adjust steering wheel to (I constantly end up feeling like I'm in a go-cart powered by a lawn mower engine)

-THE STEERING WHEEL is a joke (Logitech G27, it is FAR too small, but that doesn't directly coincide with this product)

-SO... MANY... WIRES...!

If you care THAT much to watch hundreds of dollars go in exchange for this seat, knowing it won't be perfect, then do it. Like I said, I'm not "upset" or "regretful" I bought it, but with the major improvements that could be made, it seems they've had enough years manufacturing them to just get it right.
