its better than dirt rally 1. the handling is better once you adjust if you used to dirt rally 1. cars have weight now gravel dirt conditions are sublime. i might be biased though as i helped mould the handling in this game.
wheel depends on budget. if you havent got much to spare a second hand logitech DFGT is a good starting point. these can be had for upto £50. after that in the £150-£200 range you will be looking at mainstream modern wheels like logitech g29 and thrustmaster wheels. tbh i dont think you can get a better wheel for under £200 than the logitech g29. after £200+ the worlds your oyster and how much money you want to spend. if your new to racing rally sims i would say get one of the first two options. to see how you feel. a logitech g29 will hold its money for years. so even if you dont like it you will get majority of its price back 2nd hand. they also pretty bullet proof.
i have numerous videos on the game on my dirt channel if you want to see footage. many world record runs.

i think you will have a innitial learning period swapping to wheel but you should be better off after you passed that period of swapping over. i personally wouldnt play dirt or any car games on anything but a wheel. it transforms the experience and if the handling is right feels far better and immersive than a game pad. here is a true story. in dirt rally 1 i was trying to set a world record and at the end of the run completing it my wheel died going over the line. i had a xbox pad so thought i will just play with that for a while. after a few attempts i was so slow in comparision to my old times i just ordered a new wheel again about a hr later.
i only put my logitech wheels on my desk no fancy rigs. i would check your desk width where a wheel bolts on , clamps on. some people forget this. logitech wheels you can remove a spacer on the g clamp also to make it easier for thick tables. i personally use high hz monitors. a normal monitor will be fine.you will be fine.
as said look for offers on a logitech g29. they go up and down from ~£150 - £200. people will want upto £150 2nd hand and you will have the warranty and the knowledge knowing its new and not worn or damaged. if you get the g29 it can come with a gearstick or without. i would go for with the gearstick. later on down the line even if you not using it at the start you may want to do so later.

dirt rally 1 is good. the tarmac isnt great but the cars are too light in dirt rally 1. still better than any other rally car game.
dirt rally 2 is better. more realistic handling. the ffb can come down to many things but in the gravel mud dirt rally 2.0 has it nailed. its realistic. you can with wheel set up right feel what you doing more in 2.0 on gravel than 1. ffb depending on what device you use will be different. i mainly use logitech wheels. thrustmaster wheels in dirt tend to have light ffb in dirt games in comparision to logitech ones.ffb is a made up thing. there is real rally drivers doing the feedback on handling who drive the cars in game. ffb as said is a made up thing so people will never be totally happy as each person is different or wants a different feel.
for tarmac the best experience in a car game that nails it is asetto corsa original. so thats what some of us are trying to get over. if dirt next game can get that kinda tarmac handling it smashes everything rally wise.

you can always buy on cdkey site. then get dlcs as you wish . the games brilliant.
@subroutine thats part of mastering the game and learning. each car will handle differently. its a case of learning and tweaking until you get the best out of them.
if you going for a top time this is how i approach it.
drive the event stock dont tweak until i cant get any faster.
then i will tweak gearing until cant get no faster or normally just through a few sector times and up.
then adjust the rest bit by bit. until its all dialed in.
you can get world records with stock tuning if...you good enough or know the event well enough. starting out dont set your goals positions too high. most of the top times will be set by vets.
experiment with set ups. gearing first them the rest afterwards. but ideally dont touch anything until you know the event inside out.
fiesta is nice i prefer the mitsubishi space star myself. often underated but it tops many of the R5 leaderboards.
