Torsion beams while cheaper for the manufacturer and average road user, but PITA to dismantled. Nearly the whole thing need to be dismantled and it is a very large set of things.

Normal average driver (like 95% of population) does not give a fucuk or rather does not even know whats a torsion beam.

And with the improvement and developement on car chasis in year 2023A, damn thing is working quite well, comfort and motorsport friendly. If buy big brand Conti with torsion beam you wont even know it is.

See all sub 1.5 racing series in our local motorsport scene, especially mybi cup, Jazz Cup , SAGA Megavalve, Vios cup car. Its not easy to drive those thing to the max.

Due to torsion beam sharing road surface info on both side, they love smooth road surface extremely much. If u langgar gigantic dinosauric size hole at Jalan Pasir Gudang, force transfer will make sure the other side of the wheel feel it. Only the very power terpaling motorsport fighter can tame torsion beam, SAGA Cup car Sepang lap record is 2.44 and it is very difficult to reach that time.

Renault Megane RS Trophy Edition is also torsion beam if not wrong, they broke lap record at Nurburgring.

Average driver will not be able to tekan kona until feel the really knife edge difference on the open road.
