 Great seat--G25 works okay June 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'd been looking for a solution for playing Gran Tourismo 5 Prologue because sitting on the couch with the wheel clamped to my coffee table wasn't that comfortable.
When I found that there were gaming cockpits available, I couldn't resist, and ordered this one. However, I was worried because I had read that the Logitech G25 Racing Wheel wasn't compatible because the pedals were too long to fit on the platform on this seat.
Once I got the seat, it looked like all that was needed was a spacer between the pedal platform and the pedals to make it work.
A piece of 1x12 lumber cut to the length of the Playseat foot pedal mount provides the separation needed for the G25 pedals to fit.
How the spacer is mounted is up to you. I chose to drill holes in the board to line up with the screw holes in the pedal set (which take M6 machine bolts). Some lag bolts through the board and the steel pedal plate take care of holding the board to the playseat plate. A single set of screws through everything would also work. A paper trace of the pedal set base works great as a drilling template for the pedal mounting screws.
After the spacer is added, the pedals fit perfectly. And--you don't have the annoying steering bar between your legs like you do in the Playseat evolution.
If you're at all handy, and can fashion a ~1" spacer for the pedal set--this seat will work for you.
There is one more thing--like the Evolution, the seat of the Classic folds for easier storage.
In summary, this item was a great addition to my car racing experience. I recommend it highly.
 Frame needs tweaking June 6, 2008

I am using the seat with the GT Force Feedback Wheel by Logitech for the PS3. I am a GT addict and have used the setup for F1 Championship as well. Must haves if you are really into the racing sim genre.
The actual seat is great, stable and comfortable. The frame on the other hand needs work. Out of the box the foot pedal and steering wheel mount wobble quite a bit, even when tightened down with the supplied adjustment knobs. The materials used seem to be quality, but the petite size of the frame's support columns give the chair a "dainty" novelty feel. If you are investing a hundred plus dollars into a product, I expect a little bit more. Overall, I would make this purchase again, just be prepared to perform a little surgery on yours.

Nice seat, high price! February 28, 2008
I defanately love this seat, it makes driving games alot more enjoyable and has actually helped with strategy driving as well. The seats really comfortable, i almost want to use in my car now, haha. Only reason i give it a 4 star is because of the rigidity of the frame. It does wobble a bit, and the fine adjustments that you can make for wheel hight/length need to be a little bit longer. I have a feeling ill be modifying mine because it irks me that bad! Over all i defanately recomend this product, especially if its on sale. I got screwed with the $250.00 price

I already had the steering wheel and have used it for a few years. The seat really adds to the fun and comfort of playing. My nephew and Girl Friend both could not use the steering wheel before as they could not hold it but now it is no problem. It was easy to assemble and I feel it was a great buy.

This is the basic seat from Playseats and I am very happy with it. I paid $199.00 and shipping was free. Best deal I found. Installation was easy, I was missing one felt pad to protect the floor but I had some similar felt protectors that worked the same. The chair is comfortable, a bit large but I guess it's made to fit a wide range of shapes. The overall construction is good. Packaging was good as well. I would recommend this to anyone who wants the full experience of video game racing.
