Part of the secret is in the rear suspension. The multi-link rear suspension provides excellent stability in hard braking or during sudden changes of direction. Front and rear anti-roll bars are standard. On the road, the suspension feels firm and stable, yet offers sufficient compliance to prevent harshness. Slightly softer springs and shocks are used for U.S. models.
Effort changes according to engine speed.
They offer better grip in corners and are more precise at turn-in. They worked just as well in the mountains, providing extrememly stable braking performance. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard. Braking performance has been improved over the old model through the adoption of larger, 11-inch vented front discs. The result is strong braking and excellent pedal feel.
