Feedback doesn't always have to be negative, mine is such:

Feeling: the new tyres and suspension models present a vast improvement GT5. There appears to be a very realistic simulation of 'bite' and 'glide' when I've approached a corner to fast or steered too aggressively. And the new tyre sounds are impressive how the noises change depending on the harshness of the steering input. Really good.

Environment: I think the lighting is glorious, especially at dusk. The headlight effect is sublime; the flicker from main beam to dip on replays is the business!
I noticed (after a crash) that even the reflection of the rear brake lights is visible in the barriers when the car's close enough and you flick to rear view. I love that!

Sounds: the sounds are much improved over GT5. Very happy with the engine note of the cars I've driven. Even the largely boring GTR from the Silverstone time trial in the first round of 'mission races' seems to sound better than previous versions; the turbo spooling up sounds more realistic in my opinion.

Standard cars: my beloved RUF RGT has been lovingly poshed up and now looks stunning in blue with orange spoked rims!
The jagged edges are no more. I'm very impressed.

Physics: back to my RGT for this; they've really improved this handling of the Porsche-based sports car. The back end really swings like a lead-forged pendulum if you get your corners wrong. I love it! Much improved on GT5!

UI: new menus look clean and the dealership pages look great; much easier on the eye and the mind.

Performance: once I had played a few circuits for the first time the loads appeared to speed up. Very impressed with system performance indeed in this latest Gran Turismo.

I'm overwhelmed. Utterly in love with GT6.
I feel this is a very satisfactory update - the 'driving sensation' from the new look and feel is refreshed just as it should be - worth every penny!

Glad you are happy. So am I, mostly. I am readjusting to the physics, but I'll have it in a day or two. There is more depth to the controls for sure. I think seriously consulting with and using advice/lessons from a tire manu and a shock damper manu were the best things to happen to the GT series.

Just hope my quibbles get sorted in the first patch...

No RA menu button customization for racing wheels except DFGT...
