Lol, how? Is this without the VAQ?

Drive in Idaho... That's a real moose test.... Fly right UNDER it!

That was interesting to see when the electronic nannies intervened. You could see it really clearly on the 77 km/h test when the car snapped back into a straight line after the first gate

Hey it’s better that it failed because of oversteer rather than understeer.

Edit: Nevermind, looking closer it did fail because of understeer, lol

I watched a bunch of video's from that channel and one car that beat them all is Honda Fit/Jazz:

It did it at ~84km/h.

If moose test is of any importance, that's the best buy for the back

I was expecting a moose to crash the slalom test. Kind of disappointed..

I think he shut off the ESC and doesn't know to drive.

Thats the whole point of that test.

I’ve mentioned elsewhere that I traded a Wrangler (lifted with 35s) for my GTI. One of the uncomfortable things about driving the Wrangler, apart from realizing why nobody has ever uttered “legendary Jeep quality”, was that I knew I was committed to colliding with any non-human that walked into my pathway. It’s hard to fight the urge to swerve in the heat of the moment. Fortunately, my only victims were about a half dozen squirrels and a portly raccoon.

Swervitude - another plus for the GTI (albeit, I won’t clear raccoons).

Car did not roll over, what’s the problem here? I mean if you drive like that to work, than it is probably an issue. Is it a safety or performance test?

I'm surprised it was better than the Honda Civic Type R!

It's a safety test. See the Wikipedia link above.
