If they are cheap enough, people might buy them and play around just for fun, otherwise cost is probably a limiting factor for most people, especially if they don't really have a goal in mind.

The other limiting factor in my case is that I don't think I have an OBD2 port. Buying a new car to rectify that little issue makes it even more expensive ;D
I bought a Wii controller for 39$ and a nunchuck for 19$. http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Wiimote#Motion_Sensor . Wiimote uses bluetooth and uses ADXL330 for the motion sensor which has a range of +/-3g. One can also connect multiple Bluetooth devices at a time. I tried with the Wiimote and a BT GPS together and it worked fine.
