I’m the type of guy who expects driving to be done with the arrow keys (at least for a game that’s not a full blown driving simulator or driving centric), but that would imply the game not requiring you to use the mouse at the same time. But then, depending on the game, replacing a mouse with a controller could be a downgrade in a certain regard.
In the end I’m just curious. I’ll try, if it doesn’t work for me, I’ll sell it, and that’s it.

I mean obviously you can map the controls however you like but using the mouse to control the vehicle seems weird.

No, I meant games where you can drive, but can use the mouse at the same time for other things like shooting - as opposed to games where you just drive (and in that case I’d personally prefer the arrows over WASD).
Steering with a mouse is obviously terrible and I’d prefer any other method over that. Aiming and shooting with a controller is not ideal and I’d prefer mouse for that - but I’m still interested in trying a controller for third person action games where there might be some shooting, but not as a major part of the game.
