You call that kind of off topic?

Start a new thread in the correct forum.

its pretty good for a front suspension. id say its second or third best independent suspension system to the multilink, and the double wishbone design.

What about unequal length A-Arms? I see that on a lot of supercars.

its considered the best suspension for performance. the multilink, double wishbone, and the a arm suspension pretty much perform the same way though. on multilink suspensions, the spindle sorta steers, im not sure, or i guess i dont remember how its suppose to help. some people say that the multilink setup is the best design, because those seperate links make it more adjustable. i think the audi a8 has the multilink suspension at all four corners. the double wishbone was designed to perform like the a arm, but to be more compact.

Being that they are both built in the UK have you got anything to back that up?

You= teh greatest.

I'd also have a Mk 5 GTi before an EP3, simply because the Mk V makes far more sense as a practical car (Can even be had in 5 door form) and will still offer the same thrills as a Type R, it's just not quite as quick. Golfs are also WAY better looking than the Jelly-bean like Civic

It'd ride a hell of a lot better too, my mum has a 2001 VTiS (This is the leather-lined version aimed the luxury-hatch sector of the market) and the car rides nowhere near as nicely as a Peugeot 307 or Volkswagen Golf, or any other European hatch for that matter, so I'd hate to think what the Type R is like.


Also, while people seem to disagree on this one, Volkswagens are extremely reliable cars, very solid and very well built. I had a 230,000Km Jetta (Though it was built in Germany, not Mexico) once, nothing went wrong except for the battery. Whereas my Honda Civic with 116,000 K's has had a series of niggling faults and a noticably weaker driveline. Same thing with our '03 Passat 4MOTION, it's got up to 30,000 km with not one problem except a busted speaker that was the fault of an auto-glass shop.



Though I must add, when it comes to my "GTi's" I'm somewhat biased towards Peugeot
