Here is some customer G27 review:
Pros: Well built. Leather wheel feels much better than plastic. Clutch, brakes, and gas all have different push pressure. Feedback force feels great. I just hope the motor won’t give up on me any time soon!
Paddle shifters made out of metal and when shifting they feel very durable and firm.
Installation was a breeze.
Cons: The leather is no BMW quality! However, as mentioned before, it’s much better than plastic wheel.
The screws that attach the wheel and shift stick to the table are made of plastic and give impression if you screw them too hard they’ll crack. But so far so good.
Lots of cables. But I just taped them together and it’s now manageable.
Have no horn button?.. 
I don’t have much to say about manual shift stick. It feels alright but I don’t use it in any games( takes longer to shift), only paddle shifters.
I’ve never tried g25, so I can’t compare them but judging from the pictures, extra buttons on g27 give a bigger advantage.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with this product.
Games played with G27: iRacing, NFS Shift.
