Our final improvement deals with the Golf R's 4 Motion all-wheel-drive system.
The Golf R uses a Haldex AWD system, which is shared across the VW and Audi lineups. Unlike some more modern AWD systems, the
Haldex system sends power to the front wheels by default, then applies up to 50% of the power to the rear wheels. This means the Golf R is actually FWD during most driving situations. Competitors like the Focus RS can send up to 70% of the power to the rear wheels with drift mode. This creates an ability to slide the car around like a RWD car, which isn't really possible in the Golf R. Volkswagen should consider a more RWD-biased AWD to make the Golf R more exciting to drive.
