My MX6 has 4ws, i think that it is great. Basically it feels like the 4ws gives you a much smaller turning circle so when you turn the steering wheel it is as if your steering wheel movement is amplified. I have not had any problems with the 4ws mechanically but I have heard that it is pretty expensive to have fixed.

1 Does anyone have a 4WS Mx6 on a skid pad or doing a skid/drift whatever ?
I find that the 4ws is good for doing handbrake turns because if you sit in the back of my car when going around a corner normally, it feels like the back is sliding out. That is because the rear is getting steered around the corner instead of being pulled around the corner. It feels like when I go around a corner the rear end of the car (because it is steering around the corner) has enough momentum to start a slide without having to do a turn in the opposite direction first to build momentum to swing the back out. But when you straighten up it sort of flicks back because of the 4ws.

2 Is this an advantage over domestic 2WDS mx6's
Some would say no but I say that it is advantageous over 2ws, 4ws is great for u-turns and parallel parking. When i drove a 2ws mx6 it almost feelt like it was understeering.

3 lol are you going to be able to steer better cause of it ?
Of course, especially at low speeds it is more noticable.

4 Is it all that it's cracked up to be?
If I had the choice between 2 MX6s for the same price. one with 4ws and one without 4ws I would go for the one with 4ws, however if the one with 4ws was an extra 500 then I would go for the one without 4ws. Its good but its nothing to get all excited about.

5 4WS vs 4WS switched off ?
I dont think you can turn off the 4ws if the car comes stock with 4ws.
6 What happens @ a high speed turn/ corner ?
As you go faster the angle that the back wheels turn gets smaller. So when you are parking or going really slow the rear wheels turn as far as they go (like in the above pictures) but at 50mph you almost cant feel the effects of the 4ws because the rar wheels do not turn a much.
