Re: A front wheel drive R Design T4...

Pilot assist 2 which I have in the V90 (believe the new system is v3) checks the gap between the lorry and the car in front so that you don’t sit in the lorry blind spot, you might notice that as a breaking/ slowing down if the gap isn’t there to clear the lorry in the...

Re: A front wheel drive R Design T4...
I agree with most of this the VW system is much less useful, it doesn’t work in rain or snow and doesn’t work if there is a speed difference of 25mph between you and the vehicle in front, seriously the list of exclusions in the VW manual is huge.

A front wheel drive R Design T4...
Is what I've just ordered, to be delivered late Sept. Thought long and hard about whether to go AWD or FWD, and in the end decided I didn't need drive to all four wheels as I live in Hertfordshire, not Cumbria or Scotland. And when I did live in Scotland I only ever drove FWD cars. Still, I'll be ha...
