Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Definitely a settings issue, I went from a g923 to a moza r5 (similar torque specs) and it was a lot better?
  • The R5 is good but I've watched enough suggestions from pro racers that use Sims and they suggest a minimum force that I think only the r12 and above have.
  • The wheelbase, while certainly a step up from your G920, it lacks for me that little bit of extra torque that the R5 would offer.
  • I just purchased a DD Moza R5 wheel and will be sitting in a chair?
  • I had moza r5 was very fun until I got used to it but it lasted me for awhile

Cons

  • I cringe whenever I see a newcomer ask about like a CSL DD vs Moza R5 and they get hit with 'nah bro, just get a simucube ultra bro, it's the shit bro, trust me bro'
  • I was looking at the moza r5 but found out it does not come with loadcell pedals
  • I mean, at 5.5 nm, like a Moza r5, it was like driving a normal car, maybe the quick change from the Asetek can be to blame.
  • Parent context: R5 is more powerful. But listen, if you're going to be using this for drift training on the Sim. R5 is going to be a minimum, to get the wheel spinning fast enough. But the r5 can't spin a full rim quick enough for a prop...
  • I do have a moza r5, which isn't the strongest wheelbase, that's for sure

I got my son the Moza R5 and I think it’s a great bang for your buck. You get a wheel you can learn with and keep for a couple of years.

I’ve read for beginners a bundle like the Moza R3 or Moza R5 are ideal

I bought tis for my moza r5, best purchase ive ever done, it even feels like a motion rig

I'd go with a Moza R5, at the very least. I wouldn't go below 5nm because if you make a 3, you'll soon want to go higher.
