The 2.0 - litre TDI engined car we drove kept most of the undulations filtered from the cabin, however on large potholes the rear torsion
beam suspension did unsettle the passengers and was a bit noisy on occasions too.
Not exact matches
Basic models get a rather rudimentary twist
beam rear axle, but all A250 models
do get the complex multi-link rear
suspension set - up.
This engine is matched to sophisticated multi-link rear
suspension, while all the others make
do with a torsion
beam.
The Beetle Turbo uses a damper - strut front
suspension and a multilink setup at the rear, while the standard car makes
do with a
beam axle.
Nissan
does have a more refined multi-link
suspension arrangement than the simplistic torsion
beam rear axle found in our tester, but offers it only on all - wheel - drive Jukes.
What the GT doesn't offer is the independent rear
suspension of the European version, settling for the Coupe's new V -
beam torsion -
beam layout and its integrated, 22 - mm stabilizer bar.
Unladen, the 3500 dually rides a little rough when compared to the Silverado 2500 I drove earlier this year, but the torsion
beam front
suspension does help smooth the ride.
Then there's the torsion
beam rear
suspension that didn't cope with bumps very well for a rear that's downright jumpy at times.
It's lowered strut (front) and torsion
beam (rear)
suspension — which is slightly retuned for the new driveline — means the Polo GTI is especially tenacious in corners, with grippy 215 / 40 - series rubber now wrapped around wider (by half an inch to 7.5) new - look 17 - inch «Parabolica» alloy wheels (with a space - saver spare); though Australian models
do not receive the adaptive dampers offered in selected European markets.
It has a less sophisticated torsion
beam rear
suspension setup (the more recent car has a full - independent arrangement), but that doesn't stop it being a corner - hungry monster.
The ride, despite the TDI riding on the aforementioned non-independent torsion -
beam suspension in the rear, is class - leading, wheel control more in keeping with an Audi rather than something supposed to
do battle with Civics and Mazda3s.
Underneath, the front independent
suspension system and the rear twist -
beam axle
do an excellent job of ironing out most bumps.
... what about the important part of the car's
suspension set - up, are we getting the torsion
beam or the independent
suspension... Because i read it some where that in the UK, both type is available depending on the engine's power output... Or
did i miss anything here or in previous article...
One unsettling thing about the car is the rear torsion
beam suspension: it doesn't like bigger bumps.

Olds engineers have
done a fine job tuning the Achieva SC's MacPherson strut front and twist
beam rear
suspension system.
Of course, I don't know how the torsion
beam rear
suspension would handle things but the car would be a bit lighter losing the battery pack so it may be fine.
The latter also gains a more advanced multilink rear
suspension for improved handling (the standard GT makes
do with a torsion
beam), and it also receives quicker steering, as well as revised damping and spring rates and a 15 - mm rear antiroll bar.

The rear
suspension benefits from a highly efficient torsion
beam system featuring a separate spring and damper layout, creating a super-compact design which
does not intrude into the vehicle's loadspace.
