When Volkswagen released the Golf GTI in 1976, they had to make a decision. They could either focus on making a fun car with good performance or prioritize safety features. This article will highlight some of the many safety features that are now available for those who choose to drive a VW Golf GTI:
-Collapsible Steering Column
-Anti-Lock Brakes
-Front Airbags and Side Crumple Zones
-Energy Absorbing Bumpers and Design to Protect Pedestrians
The collapsible steering column is a safety feature that, when activated during an accident, adjusts the steering wheel so the driver doesn't have the full manual of the wheel in their hands. If someone were to hit your car at 40mph, they wouldn't have complete control over turning the wheels, potentially saving lives.
Anti-lock brakes are brakes that prevent lock up of wheels during hard braking on surfaces with reduced friction. The reason this is important is because it lessens the likelihood of skidding and accidents caused by loss of control. Front airbags are a very important safety feature that keeps the driver safe during an accident.
