Shame to hear it. They still have a good reputation for the g25/g27. And a 3 year warranty is pretty generous (hopefully most people will have a better experience with support if needed).

Biggest thing they have going for them is there isn't any competition at that price point. If you wanted to buy something comparable you'll be paying at least double the price (for a wheel/pedals from Fanatec/Thrustmaster), probably more. I'd still say this is the best option currently available unless you've got wads of cash.

If $245 is too much (and you are willing to give up the stick shift) you can have a look at the Logitech Driving Force GT. They were recently on sale on logitechshop but have sold out while on special (normally about $100-120). Dirty Dicks currently have them for $189 http://dicksmith.com.au/product/YG23...force-gt-wheel)
