More test drives- addendum

[Tom Nas]

...as an aside, it may be interesting to know how driving experience of a 
Torsen 90q and the Haldex TT and S3 compare.
Actually, chassis balance of the TT and S3 is so excellent that it never 
feels like you're driving a FWD car when compared to the 90q. These cars 
both understeer slightly, but that's how (even RWD) cars are generally set 
up these days. With good tyres however, the Haldax-equipped cars feel 
incredibly stable and neutral, with power going to the wheels as you expect 
it and no nasty surprises in store.

This was in spirited open road driving (way above posted speeds, and 
deliberately trying to find the limits) but atmittedly not on a race track 
at 10/10ths. I wouldn't however hesitate to say that the Haldex-equipped 
quattros are any less than the Torsen cars as far as the general driving 
experience is concerned.
