4.0 out of 5 stars Very comfortable, almost perfect., May 22, 2011

This review is from: Playseat World Rally Championship Gaming Seat (Video Game)
I have had my Playseat WRC for about 4 months now and can say it was worth every penny. Extremely comfortable, even for those multi-hour Gran Turismo endurance races. Solid feeling when you are in the unit -- I had my doubts about the pressure locks when I first got it and can say that the unit does not move a bit during play, even with multiple drivers rotating through 7 hours of Suzuka in the rain.

Getting in and out of the seat can be challenging, especially with the optional gear shift holder in place. The wheel support coming up from the seat makes the positioning very stable, but also limits your positioning options (since height and distance from your seating position are tied together) and can be tricky to get your leg around when getting in. I've seen other reviews saying it interferes with pedal operation but nobody using my WRC has noticed that problem.

This unit was obviously designed for the Logitech G25/G27; my G27 mounted perfectly with the... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars close to perfect!!!, December 25, 2011

A pleasant surprise: The seat worked just as promised, and just as good as the other reviewers said. The wheel I am using is the new Fanatec GT2 wheel and the clubsport pedals.

Assembly:
The unit assembled with little difficulty. All of the parts and tools are included. The items were wrapped well and NO scratches on anything! I would say it took abut 15 minutes to assemble and faster if you have a ratchet driver. The upholstery on the seat smoothed better than I thought a folding design would, and the fasteners appear to be of good quality.

Comfort:
A solid fit for a 190lb person.The padding is fine in the seat and there are no rough spots. I will be adding a small lumbar pad to make it "just right". All of the metal parts are well finished as well.

Quality/solidity:
Quite good. No creaking and only a small amount of flex. No demerits here. The clamps on the sliders are VERY solid and secure.

Cons:
A few nits to pick:... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Playseat WRC Gaming Seat, March 12, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Playseat World Rally Championship Gaming Seat (Video Game)
I have had this seat for about one month now. I am very happy with this racing seat. It is made with a good quality of materials and is ergonomically very comfortable. It took me around 45 minutes to assemble. It has made playing auto racing videos so much more realistic. The only flaw that I have found so far is the steering wheel tends to shimmee down the mounting shaft when I race road courses because I am doing more shifting and probably tugging a little harder on the wheel. I alleviated this problem with a little duct tape on the mounting shaft to make it a bit thicker and now the wheel holds firm. I would definitely recommend this seat if you are into auto racing games. It makes the game so much more realistic.
