It pretends to be a Golf, it is FWD or if you buy the high powered version, AWD. A fun car, the biggest issue I have with the game however is the springs, stiff springs are always short, stupidly short to the point of negative camber, so if you want them to look like a normal car they drive like arse. Plus most cars are badly scripted so wheels poke out of the arches.
It isn't free, but it isn't far from it as it was released under Activision Value (~€5), though you'd be lucky to find a copy as it was never a big seller.
