Default Driving games - what do you use?

Do you use wheel and pedals or keyboard? What are your experiences and which do you use/can suggest?

I use keyboard cause I dont have wheel and pedals and having them in the office is a bit strange even if I play sometimes after work.
In LiveForSpeed you can use mouse wich is weard but I can hold car on the road not like with keyboard where I oversteer all the time with RWD cars

I use wheel of course. I got Logitech driving force pro & MS FF. I use the Logitech as a steering wheel and MS pedals for throttle & brake and Logitech's throttle as clutch. Works fine for me...

Live For Speed is a simulator => wheel is (should be) obligatory (but you can use your mouse or your keyboard, but it is less funny/realistic).

I use MS sidewinder FF. Wish there're FF pedals, hard to drive properly without any feel from the pedals.

I use the Logitech Wingman FF GP and I love it to bits. I originally got it for that free game called Racer and have also used it on Toca Race Driver which is very good. I never used to think that a steering with pedals work that well until I got the Logitech, now I know what it's all about.

Good stuff !! Also most driving games I have supports the Wingman FF, I have mine now for about a month and it has grown on me. Next step is to get another one and have a LAN game with some friends, we discussed doing a type of trial where you race a few laps and change with a team mate. Should be great fun.
Cheers
