I believe so...if you look at the Clubsport S model, VW included one on a car they wanted to be lightweight (hence use of FWD and not AWD).

Going through chassis motions, you can hear the backseat shudder against the trunk cover lid for the hatch. Nothing awful but shouldn't be there, IMO.

Does this one do anything? Reviews seem positive but there are several different braces on the market (it's nice to have a global car again - options!).

The original VW bar gets rid of the backseats entirely(because race car), some aftermarket require drilling new holes (nope), some don't and are $$, another basically blocks off the back of the rear seats (nope), and then there's this one.

Mentally building this car has been fun. There seems to be a conflict with adding weight (braces and swaybars) and removing it (brake options and wheels).
