Although I bought it several years ago, it's only in the last few weeks
that it has had any serious use.

Looking for a replacement. Durability, especially of the locking
mechanism, is key - when I've driving, the wheel will probably be set up
and removed each day.

Willing to pay up to the price of a G25. Is it the most likely wheel to
last in that price range?

If anything, the weakest point is probably the shifter. My shifter
has an intermittent problem shifting into 5th (it gets caught outside
the gate). The clamping mechanism seems pretty robust and the wheel
and pedals look like they'll last a lifetime (not sure about the pots
though). Apart from 5th, I'm very happy with the wheel.

Cheers,
Rod.
