Above 3000 rpm, though, the 1.6 - liter engine takes on a completely different character, responding to the slightest
changes in throttle position and accelerating much more vigorously.
The transmission will also recognise when the car is performing a series of overtaking manoeuvres requiring rapid
changes in throttle position and, rather than change up, remain in a lower gear ready for the next demand for acceleration.
Then you come out of the slight curve you were negotiating, or the road becomes less bumpy, and, without any change
in throttle position, it's full steam ahead once more.
Torque vectoring also contributes to safety by controlling the distribution of torque according to changes
in throttle position, steering angle and road surface, thus damping the amount of yaw.
