GT has never been realistic... there have always been better "simulators"... the latest batch lik GT Legendy, GTR, GTR2, rFactor, even Race (all on the PC) are far better at realistic driving. (And for rally, Richard Burns Rally is *incredible*... and harder than shit!)
But GT has always been *fun*. Realistic enough that it takes real-world skill to be good at it, but arcade enough that it's rarely frustrating. Except for rally. I don't know why, but GT rally licks donkey nuts. GT3 seemed a little better than GT4, and I never really played the rally side in GT1/GT2... but all the rally I have done in the games is no where close to as fun as the tarmac stuff.
Part of it is because I use a wheel, and have no chops on the dualshock... you can react and adjust much quicker w/ the DS... especially since I "upgraded" to the 900 deg rotation wheel, which increases your lock-to-lock time by a ton. I'm at the point where I never expect to pass the rally stages of GT4, simply because it pisses me off too much.
