4ws into eg hatch

well people disable HICAS in nissans (thats their version of awd)

hicas was the 4ws system, attesa ets was the awd system if i remember correctly.

if you like understeering + stability at speeds above 35km/h, then by all means fit a 4ws system, otherwise steer clear. in 4ws, rear wheels only go in opposite direction to front at less than 35km/h. if you're going any faster, rear wheels go in same direction as front (if they went in opposite direction, you would exceed your car's stability limit and roll).

Its also dependent on how much you steer, at above the speed threshold, steer beyond a certain angle and the rear wheel go back to steering in the opposite direction. its quite an intelligent system really.

im pretty sure it doesnt return to the opposite direction, as it causes too much instability if it does it at high speeds, and will also be unpredictable in handling as it would suddenly go from stable understeer to an unstable oversteer. most mechanical 4ws systems will just stick to the basic functions. maybe in the electronic 4ws systems it might do that, but i am yet to see one that does.

4ws systems should only really be useful on highway racing. aside from that, you're just adding unnecessary weight.
