4ws is cool. Didnt like it at first but it has grown on me and got me out of some very sticky situations

Why didnt it catch on?

Probably to keep car prices lower. Shame, as I really like it on the fast bends

Only the newer electronic 4WS has problems. The 3rd gen' mechanical 4WS is amazing.....and reliable! :geek:

I'm a convert, thought it would feel weird to drive but is awesome for manouvers.
A big car with a tiny turning circle, almost feels like your turning on the spot.

4WS is found on the renault Laguna and BMW 7 series. Both are cack and leccy.
3rd Gen 4WS IS THE MOST SUPERIOR. its jobby on your bed fantastic, its stroke a indians boys face jizztastic.
I miss it around town and parking alot. On an open road with bends i prefer my ATTS but the mech 4ws wouldnt be far behind at all, if my 3rd gen has a good coilover setup i rekon it could be quicker in the corners especially as the 3rd gen is also featherweight.

Other than the tighter cornering at low speeds, modern stability control does the same at higher speeds for less money and less complexity.
