some of the attractions. A big serving of torque is another. Unfortunately, deploying all that pulling power to the road can sometimes be.a.tricky job, especially if it is all poured through the ^


front wheels. , . ; Volkswagen has a solution in the


shapely form of the^Passat TDI 4MOTION which, as you may. have deduced, uses an all-wheel drive system i- to spread the torque.


Traction with powerful turbo-diesel .


front-wheel drive cars is becoming something of a growing concern. Yes, i t , is possible to introduce a traction con­ trol system to help marshal the turbo s spiky rush of torque, but it is only a


partial cure. When pulling sharply out of a wet T- ' . '


junction, traction control can dampen the power to such an extent that you have very little drive left to play with. The alternative, axle-tramping wheel- spin, is^ no better. Volkswagen’s 4M0TI0N system most definitely is. It is also a good deal more sophisti­

.control. . Ask many drivers committed to manual ‘ .


gearboxes what they dislike most about a con­ ventional automatic and it would probably be


. just that: the removal of that vital element of ' control. We have all driven poor automatics that change up halfway through comers, th^ depriving us of grip. Either that or they will snick the next gear up as you start descending a hill, ensuring that you wear through brake pads at double the normal rate.

simplicity of an automatic. This sort of gearbrac is not particularly new.


But the Fiesta’s system runs headlong into naore prosaic and Mightly less well-known competitors. Direct rivals like the Renault Clip Quickshift and the Vauxhall Corsa


, Easytronic have alreaidy made inroads into this market. In order to move the game for­

Available as an option on Fiesta Finesse,


LX and Ghia models fitted with the Durat^ 1.4-litre 16v petrol engine, Durashift EST is an electro-mechanical adaption of the Ford Fiesta five-speed manual transmission with


■ two distinct modes of operation - auto shift mode (ASM) and select shift mode (SSM). Three tiny electric motors take the place of the clutch pedal and the cables normally


■ required by the clutch and shifting mecha- ' nisms; Two of these motors do the shifting . work on the driver’s behalf and the, third motor, supported by a hefty spring, actuates the clutch. So yes, despite there being no


clutch pedal, you still get a clutch.;,,, .: ToengagethemanualSSMmode,the^dn-

jerky, the Fiesta Durashift is easy,to Hick smoothly up and down the gearbox, the


engine even blipping instantaneously on ' downshifts to match the revs for you. The key
