Pad for me. The wheel represents the point of no return for nerdy single gamer to me 
... and I'm not ready to give that part of my life up just yet.... although I think I can see it from here

Im hoping to purchase the DFP wheel in a few days time because not only for enjoyment but im sure in certain circumstances the wheel is an advantage.
There are 2 cars that I have noticed so far that I believe will be an advantage using the wheel and these are the Lotus Elise(Pro physics) & F2007. Look at the replay of the No1 time using the F2007 on Suzuka. There is no way I can be that smooth and precise using the pad. These cars especially the Elise on Professional setting require subtle control from not only the steering but the throttle also. Using the wheel would allow this because I find the pad is all or nothing with regards to control.

I used DFP for GT4 and now upgraded to the G25 for GT5rologue. Just learning the clutch too...
rologue. Just learning the clutch too...I'm using a DFP, have done since GT4. I've had it about 4 years now (I think) and I've used it a lot with loads of different games. I'm starting to have one or two little issues with it now though. Like the wheel isn't ever completely centred any more. When the car is going straight, the wheel is ever-so-slightly out to the left. It's not bad by any means, it still plays faultlessly and you could sit the vast majority of people down to use it and they wouldn't even notice, I don't even notice it most of the time, you can only really tell if you're looking for it.
Other times though the calibration must really mess up, because when the car is going straight on screen, the wheel is at a 45 degree angle
Nothing a quick reset doesn't fix though.
I'm hoping to upgrade to the G25 for GT5 Though I can't fault the DFP 👍

Had the same issue...Moved the PS3 back to the desk. I was hoping to be able to play with the G25 on the living room with a "easy to fold" solution but it didn't work out. The feedback on the G25 is so strong that you need a desk or even better a playseat. My GF didn't like the idea of the Playseat, I don't know why

Thats women for you. The problem with mine was the clamps dont open wide enough to fit on my desk. And i dont feel courageous enough to start modifing it. Untill then its staying in the box. If only i had enough room i'd get a playseat.

After running the 1000km of Suzuka in GT4 with a pad and having my thumbs feel extremely sore for almost a week I knew it was time to move to a wheel.
The only problem was price, I didn't want to spend $150 on the DFP, but one day I stumbled upon a $80 DFP at gamestop
DFP only ever since then. It's the only way to get a true driving experience

DFP.
I agree Muzaffar.
I can't race with the pad anymore. It just feels alien now.

I've got a G25 and a Playseat Evo, both new and unused, waiting for my replacement PS3 to arrive, and I'm already set to never again play a racing game with a controller.
(everyday I do some "air driving" on them to get a bit of the feeling...)
