greater safety different driving situations require alternative solutions so we ve developed electro-mechanical servo steering to make driving safer and more comfortable when you re reversing into a parking space the steering is light and responsive however if you re cruising along a motorway sensors will detect a whole new scenario the solution is to create the optimum servo support that results in stability at speed but a precise response should you need to make a sudden change of direction more comfort whether you re faced with town driving or winding country roads the golf provides great roadholding through its totally revised suspension system it features an optimised mcpherson front axle and a broader track for improved stability stabilisers are situated directly at the suspension strut which helps minimise roll at the front axle furthermore the dampers and suspension work independently of one another to protect the driver and passenger from bumpy roads and potholes for challenging road surfaces there s an easy solution 4motion a sophisticated four wheel drive system which allows the engine power to be transferred to the wheels with the best traction the system constantly regulates the distribution of the drive between front and rear axles and because the system is electronically controlled it gives the optimum traction for all driving situations improved dynamics when it comes to performance roadholding the golf delivers through a four-link rear axle a highly effective arrangement allows the length and cross dynamics to be tuned separately with great results even through tight corners the golf is extremely stable with minimal sideways roll in fact you ll soon appreciate the rear axle benefits on every road surface you encounter from uneven tracks to motorway cruising you ll feel just one thing ­ pure driving pleasure chassis safety models colours upholstery optional equipment engines technology service print exit 2
