Magazine reviews, Haldex 4wd & TT
September issue of Volkswagen Audi Car test drives a number of models of the
Golf 4motion (including a V5 TDi) and talks a lot about the Haldex 4wd, with
pictures of the drivetrain. States that at steady speed the rear axle will
receive 'probably up to 95%' of the torque but under acceleration the split
is more like 50/50.
BBC TopGear magazine test drives the TT and the two drivers (an unsuccessful
ex-F1 driver and a 6 foot 5 inch journalist with a bad perm) don't really
like it - good looking, lots of pose but disappointing - 'its not a sports
car'.
