The 4WD model combines VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist system, which includes an Antilock Brake System, Traction Control System, and sideslip control) with Hill-Start Assist - a Honda first - which temporarily maintains brake pressure after the brake pedal is released when starting on a hill to ensure smoother starts. Other rocking features include standard antilock brakes, a butt-vibrating MP3-enabled CD audio system, smart air bags, optional GPS, and humongous brakes and tires that can stop this car almost as fast as it gets going. Side airbags aren't offered and antilock brakes aren't standard on the Solstice. |
