Arcade Styled, not a sim, not for me. (wheel user)

Background: I'm running this game with a T500RS, I enjoy realism and that affected my rating dramatically. I also ran it with no driving aids adjusted in the difficulty.
PROS:
-Force Feed Back is superb in terms of vibration
-Great visual appeal
-Damage is detailed and fun
-Flashbacks prevent the "start button and restart race" (its function is to rewind after a crash to play through)
-Adjustments as to tuning the car to your drive style.
-Single player is fun.
-Ability to adjust difficulty to your liking (AI difficulty, driving aids, etc)
CONS:
-As a wheel user who generally only enjoys sim racing, Codemasters decided to not have any sort of spring effect with the wheel. So you turn the wheel and you can let go and it just stays there in place. It's like the rear of the car is non existent. This alone kills the game for me, otherwise it would have been a keeper in my book.
As you can see there is only one con in my book, but as a sim racer it's a big con. Also the physics were okay, not phenomenal though, at times it just felt like sliding around everywhere due to no spring effect. People who enjoy arcade styled racers will love this game, however Dirt 3 wasn't for me.
