- FWD makes this car pretty easy to drive and very hard to spin out
- Doesn't flip as easily as the Mini
The Golf is one of the slower cars in the game so its not going to win any high speed races. But it does have one redeeming feature, its front wheel drive. While most cars will outrun the Golf it does extremely well on the two off-road courses. It's front wheel drive makes it nearly impossible to spin out and just as hard to miss a turn.
Although the Golf is slight slower than Redline's other front wheel drive car, the Mini, it seems to have a lower center of gravity and is far less likely to flip when going over bumpy terrain. For this reason alone the Golf beats out the Mini as my car of choice of the for off-road racing.
