It's very immersive but the dashboard takes too much real state to be useful and there are no rear view mirrors which I find absolutely ridiculous for a driving/racing game.

Ah I wasn't aware, I was using the Xbox controller and only saw the way 
to look left/right/back.  I'm using the hood view mostly and that helps 
considerably as the camera don't pan behind you so you can't tell quite 
what direction you're going.

I also was looking up things and found suggestions to change the 
controller settings from most assist to hardcore.  I've been playing 
around with the settings and found that and adjusting some of the 
silders helps too.

I was still getting really bad lag this last weekend, so that's when I 
picked up another racing game - Gas Guzzlers eXtreme (postesd separately 
on that) that seems to work so much better, but doesn't have the open 
world, storry, missions etc.  I had some fun tooling around my home city 
Monday in The Crew, it was tiny though, and it was funny going from 
Sacramento to Tahoe in about 5 minutes which would take a couple hours 
in the real world. :)

I went back to The Crew Monday as I figured the lag would be better and 
was able to finish a mission I found impossible on the weekend (the one 
that you have to hit boxes with a raid car they give you).  I'm still 
getting some noticeable lag even on Monday, but it's far better than it 
was on the weekend and it doesn't seem to be impacting my driving much.

P.S. I'm Justisaur916 on Uplay if anyone wants to add me for this game.
